Angel, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's cancer. Your mom will definately get radiation treatment and possibly chemo. It is in an area where they generally do not perform surgery. You will have a very difficult time finding anyone with this particular cancer and you also will be scared with stattistics. Also she will probably have scans done shortly to determine if it has spread. This is an oral cancer site so most have tongue, jaw, etc cancers. Do not think just because there are not any nasopharynx cancer survivors here that they do not survive. I am a 7 yr survivor and my cancer is stage 3 Nasoharyngeal cancer. This is a great site because the treatments are similar and you can communicate with people who are going thru what your Mom's going to face.
My thoughts are with you and mom.
