Hi all, my name is Steve. I was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in November last year with a metastasis in my right shoulder. I have completed 8 rounds of flot chemo and now awaiting Sabr radiotherapy. Still having side effects from chemo, the worst is problems with my nose. I have swollen turbinates and have just had an infection up my nose. My health providers don’t seem concerned about this and I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Seems they have never heard of this problem. I have googled it and yes this can be a problem from having chemo and really getting me down not being able to breathe properly.
