Hello @snotbox2014 , great handle by the way. I think most people and many doctors will never understand what we have been through and continue to live with. However, that said, I think it just might make us appreciate life a little more than most.
I think you can help people out on these discussions so I would hope you get a feel for how this all works and help people especially with Nasopharyngeal Cancer, which is a rare one on these pages. Sorry you have had and continue to suffer the consequences of radiation and treatments. At least now you don't have to suffer alone. I got through my nightmare with the help of others in this forum. So, welcome.

Thank you so much. As I said I couldn't have asked for better care. I still see my oncology ENT yearly. And look forward to it. And who loves to go to a doctor? I am in a pretty rare group of people with this cancer. Especially being a Caucasian woman. Since it is mostly seen in oriental men and Caucasian men. When I was in the hospital I had doctors from different hospitals from around the country coming in to see me and what was being done with me. I had no idea but hey if it helped I was all for it. When my "I call him my radiation doctor" He is actually a radiation oncologist. when I would see him he always had a student with him and I always let the student do anything that he needed to. The camera up the nose wasn't always great but hey they HAVE to learn how to do it and a real person is the best way. Of course the doctor was always right there. As I said very lucky. thank you so much for the welcome. If I can answer any questions I'll do my best.
