Hi Villa1! How's it going? I've been diagnosed with stage 3 npc with ebv positive recently. I don't really have information because I'm also dealing with it now. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk!

For the teeth removal, yes, I heard that usually they would remove the bad teeth and the wisdom teeth, but for my cancer, I didn't get any teeth removed.

Hey Hea_d

Hey Villa1,

I'm doing good. I'm getting my fertility preservation done. And probably I'm going to start my treatments 20th. My symptoms started when I felt my left ear blocked after my flights. And I went to see the GP, she spotted a swollen lump on my left neck. 

What about you, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Hea_d

Mine started back In March caught a really heavy cold loads of congestion in face and as it was wearing off my hearing went in right ear, after a lot of visits to my doctors I was sent to see a ent doctor in May  who refered me to the hospital and since then it just all been a whirl wind of appointments  I honestly thought I just had an inner ear problem or a problem with eustachian tube not npc.

You been told what treatment you will be having ? 

Hope your fertility presevation goes well 

I'll have 3 circles of induction chemo and then 30 radiotherapy along with other circles of chemo.

Ive been told 3 rounds of chemo that covers 9 weeks not discussed radio yet 

If you don't mind me asking what part of the country are you being treated ?

Hi hea_d

Hi,

No, I didn't start my treatments because I was in Guy's Cancer Centre. Their IT system went down because of the heatwave. I might have to wait till next week to start my treatments:((
