Nasopharyngeal Cancer Survivor.

Hello everyone,

I beat Nasopharangeal Cancer 17 years ago, in fact today is the anniversary of being told I was clear. I know there are only 2 or 3 other sufferers in here so all I want to say is:-

YOU CAN BEAT BIG C TOO!!!

Hope to hear from fellow nasop sufferers soon as I have NEVER met one in 17 years of having been affected by it.

Hear soon

    Ron. This a co-incidence. I quite literally have just logged on after having neoplasms removed from all four sinuses on the right side of my face. I don't know the prognosis as yet.. since the surgery was quite literally a few hour ago. (yesterday night). But yes these cancers are rare.. and congratulations on 17 years. Did you undergo any surgeries? If so which ones? Afy

    Hello Afy.

    The only surgery I received was a biopsy of tumour in nasopharanx. That was all. I received 38 radiotherapies and 4 Methotrexate chemos

    Im alive

    Hi Ron, 

     

    Writing from Australia.

    I got diagnosed with NSP cancer in late June, which got metastasised to neck lymph nodes, I tried alternative med from Mexico since then but I ended up in this hospital today with weakness/ weariness and shortness of breath. They want me to talk to radiology oncologist tomorrow morning and discuss about chemo and radiation so keeping me over night. I dreaded chemo and radiation for their likely side effects but it appears this cancer is winning at the moment. When I tried cannabis oil, it worked but it depressed me and its psychoactive component made me quit, since then, my L nodes became bigger and I started to feel weak and hard to breathe. Biopsy showed that I have Squamous cell carcinoma which was likely caused by Ebstein Bar Virus.... I am so afraid of the conventional treatment and they will Kill me if I get them now because of how weak I feel.... You’ve mentioned food mixer, is it food processor or regular blender? Any of your inputs will be greatly appreciated.

    I quit smoking 15 years ago to start a family. I have two boys,15 and 8...
