Hello @dpost2, Welcome to Connect. I'm assuming you are currently using a full face CPAP mask. If that is the case you may be able to try a nasal pillow mask just to see if it might work. They have some new ones that don't use headgear - https://bleepsleep.com/.

I think your best bet is to discuss your options with your care team or sleep medicine doctor/therapist. Have you shared your questions or concerns with your doctor?

Hello John,
Actually I use a nasal pillow mask. The mask may be ok, but the strap extends over the area to be treated. I’ll check out the site you forwarded.
As you suggest, I’ll be discussing further with my oncology and sleep medicine teams.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. -
