Last year i was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. I had a 4" tumour that came from the back of the Nasopharynx and down my left nostril and was unable to breathe through that side. It had also metasised to a lymph nhode in my neck and i had a node in my synus. Before i was diagnosed i suffered with really heavy nose bleeds and heavy nasal discharge. My G.P. had been treating me for a synus infection for 6 months before they reffered me to the ENT department.
I can really apreciate how difficult you're finding the R/T. I used Radiance Skin Gel before and during R/T. & i found it really helped my skin from the burns. The reason the treatment is so agressive is because when you're young they feel you can bounce back from it and come out the other side. & even though when you're in the thick of it it seems like there's no way out it honestly DOES get better. I had 6 cycles of high dose chemo & 6 and a half weeks of Radiotherapy. By the time they'd finnished even a size 0 was too big for me!
But i'm great now! I finnished treatment in december, and this month i'm opening my own dog grooming salon which was my dream before all this mess started! I'm goin to send you a PM also.
Keep your chin up! It will get better! Michelle
