Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I was diagnosed with cancer in my right ear canal and Parotid gland in January 2019. Since then my life has been turned upside down. I have had 6 weeks of combined radiotherapy and Chemotherapy to no effect. I'm now on Cemiplimab which I'm responding well to. However I've lost the sight in my right eye due to nerve damage. I also lost the ability to walk for a while but it is coming back. I was also fitted with a PEG tube but I can now more or less swallow. I had a huge lesion behind my right ear but that has more or less healed up now. My oncologist says this is a one in a million cancer. Has anyone else on here had a similar experience? I'd like to compare experiences.

Hello Oldbob62, this sure is a million in one cancer as i have not come across it or heard of it on this site, all I can say is that you seem to respond well to treatment after a bad start, all i can do is wish you all the best for the future and maybe someone will come along with similar experiences, good luck, take care.
