Hi @apple32, I'm tagging fellow members like @ltecato @kat63016 @josk @joannemulholland7 @suzannekay753 @krob @snotbox2014 @mtborz, who have experience with cancer of the nasopharynx, either as a patient or caring for someone. I'm not sure if anyone has experience with surgery such as salvage nasopharyngectomy.

I'm sorry to hear that your husband's cancer has recurred. I did a quick search about salvage endoscopic nasopharyngectomy to learn a bit more myself and I found this hopeful statement... "Salvage endoscopic nasopharyngectomy has better survival prognosis and fewer complications in the management of early stage rNPC, compared to re-irradiation. ..." Read more here:
- Clinical Outcomes of Salvage Endoscopic Nasopharyngectomy for Patients With Advanced Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8340003/

Has your husband's surgery been scheduled?

Thank you. Yes, his surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday 6/4. We have a tele-visit with the doctor tomorrow to go over more details for the surgery.
