Diagnosed with Nasal cancer

Seen the Consultant and a few more that were in the room.  Told I have nasal cancer T1 which they told me it is very early and curable.  Fortunately it has not spread anywhere else, they did an ultrasound on my neck to make sure and it was clear.  Hospital on 16th December for removal, I have been told it will change my face a bit but they would try to be not too invasive.  They will do reconstruction on my septum, as it will be removed at a later date.

i haven't come across anyone else yet that has suffered with this type of cancer.

  • Hi yorkiegirl,

    I'm sorry to read this although glad to see the positives that it is early and curable.

    I hope everything goes OK with the appointment in December.

    If anyone here has similar experience, hopefully they'll be along soon. Otherwise, do use this forum as much as you'd like to write down any worries or thoughts - it's a very understanding community of people.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi Ben, 

    Thanks for reading.  Just worried about how I will look, especially to my two youngest grandchildren whom I usually see every week.  I don't want to scare them.  It's just hard to explain to a 3 and 4 year old.  My daughter talks about it all the time to my grandson 4 but my granddaughter who is 3 and being assessed for autism is rather difficult.   Hopefully I will not look as bad as I think, doing the worse case senario.  Not long now, it's the waiting that gets to you isn't it.

    Thanks again,
