Paranasal sinus cancer
I was diagnosed with this malignant tumour 2 weeks before Christmas and since then have not stoped. I thank the doctor who found it as his diagnosis and quickness in getting me sorted has in my opinion helped to get me to th stage that I am now at. I have had the operation debaulking and biopsy also 2 x 5day Chemo Therapy treatments and am now awaiting the Radio Therapy treatment of 6 weeks daily doses which will start 21st of this month. Aparently this Cancer type is rare in this country and is usually found in Asia and is associated with the intake of raw fish. So I would like to hear from anyone out there if you have got asimilar cancer to mine and what was the outcome etc. during treatment etc.etc.
I feel that I belong to this exclusive club to which I do not want anybody to belong to ,for to belong to this club you must hve the same as I and I do not want this this in turn makes me feel very lonely although I am surrounded by a supporting family and friends, it really is a funny feeling. I would like to hearif anyone else feels the same.
Hi there,
I dont have the same cancer as you but do understand where you are coming from. I have had breast cancer. Three of my friends have also had breast cancer and mastectomies, but we all have different types and have had different treatments. It saddens me to think that others have it but it is a comfort to be able to talk and share stories/concerns with others. But we do understand other problems, they all go a similar route, cancer, chemo, radio therepy. We all know what you are going through and hope you can feel some solice and support from us out here is e-land. Take care and very best wishes with your treatment.
with love,
debbie.
