Hi I was diagnosed to have nasal carcinoma in October 2021 ,it started with a small white patch on the outside of my nose a few months prior to that ,but I thought nothing of it until it changed and started to bleed
i was advised to see a specialist,which my doctor referred me to ,and on Dec 13th 2021 I went in to have it cut out by local antiseptic ,but to my horror after I’d had the injections the doctor said it was much deeper than he thought so he had to take my right nostril away and perform a skin graft from my forehead. Sitting in that chair listening to everything they were saying and doing was quite a shock ,I never thought ok I’ve got cancer and yes it’s a 50/50 chance it could come back ,I just thought let’s get this done and go home .
i don’t know how to feel as I’m all over the place ,for me now my life is unsettled ,but I think to myself there are people far worse off than I ,but I’m still scared .
Hi Marley. It’s a horrid feeling, the uncertainty of the future. I coped by putting my trust in my team. It’s what they do on a daily basis and they are good at it. There were times I felt out of control and felt my body might let me down but the night passed and a new day dawned. A day at a time got me through.
I hope you get through this and get well
Best wishes
Dani
