Hi there,

I have just been informed that symptoms i have suffered for three years now may be nasal cancer. I am awaiting to be refferred to a maxofacial specialist and oncologist.

Could you please help me in understanding what symptoms you had please?

Hi Ski, I was hoping you could offer me some advice please. My mum had a total rhinectomy a month ago, due to squamous cell carcinoma. She is now finding that the support and bandages seem to be rubbing the wound making it very sore. She is due to start with a procedure to implant magnets in her face soon but they say they can't do it until she's completely healed. Could you advise something besides aqueous cream to put on there to reduce friction please. Many thanks in advance. Jad
