Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 90 | If you had chronic sinusitus prior to being diagnosed with cancer and prior to treatment does that mean that after treatment it may be worse, the same? I thought maybe after the several months of recovery chronic sinusitus might be better. My father has suffered with it for years and I had hoped maybe possibly the one benefit of all this might be a reduction in sinusitus.
Based upon your statement Brian I guess I was incorrect in my thinking - can you expand on why this is a side effect of treatment?
Thanks
Kim
