My son has nasopharyngeal cancer

I’m a mum who’s 30 year old son in Australia has been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, he’s having 9 weeks chemo, 2 week break, 7 weeks chemoradiotherapy. Anyone had this cancer and treatment or going through it? I’m a bit raw, my sister had terminal lung cancer and lost her battle in September, so this has hit quite hard

    Hello, I am another "Annie" and I feel for you .  (My son lives in NZ and I cannot help but worry about him even though he is fit and well.)    Are you able to go out there and spend time with your son; I know it is easier to say than do.    You don't give a lot of family information but there again what is there to say apart from the awful news of your son's illness.  I know treatment for cancer has jumped in leaps and bounds in recent years but still......he is your beloved son.  Sorry I cannot help you with your son's diagnosis but I am sending a link to a section of this website which deals with nasopharyngeal cancer.  I hope it is of some use.  Annie

    Thanks for your reply, I hadn’t realised how to work the site and get replies until now. My daughter is going over for Xmas to be with her brother, neither of them have partners but her time is limited with work. I’m hoping to go over beside him soon too but he’s trying to keep working for as long as he can so I’ll wait and go when he needs/wants me. He’s started treatment and we’re all keeping positive thanks again for your reply. I’ll check on the link
