Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Hello, I have just been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and would love to hear from anyone else with this diagnosis.  I will meet my oncologist for the first time next week.  Have no idea what to expect.  Its all quite daunting.  Hope everyone else on this site are doing well. 

  • Hello Clairedemps and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am sorry to hear about your nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosis and I hope that you will meet other members of the forum who have been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer and that they will come and share their experience with you. I had a little look on the forum for threads relating to nasopharyngeal carcinoma and found this thread by [@PepperPots]‍ whose husband was at the time diagnosed with a large nasopharyngeal mass and hopefully you will be able to share experiences. 

    There is information on our website on nasopharyngeal cancer which I hope will be useful to you and which will help you prepare for your oncology meeting next week. Our nurses are also always available on this free number if you would like to talk things through with them. You can call them on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that your appointment with the oncologist goes well and that you soon have an effective treatment plan in place. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
