Hi my name is Karen I have recently been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. I have a small tumour in my nasal cavity and localised spreading to my lymph glands. I am awaiting a PET scan to check for further spread. Assuming there has been no further spread I should start a treatment programme of chemo radiotherapy in a few weeks. I have been googling side effects as I have been warned the treatment is brutal. Any advice would be really welcome. With many thanks Karen

Hi Karen, yes the Treatment is tough but it's to be done for a positive reason. Stay positive, talk talk talk about your fears and stay strong is how I got through. You have support here and use Macllan and your oncologist team. We've been there hon and I'm personally putting you in my prayers, I feel it works. I had 36 Radiotherapy, 2 out of 3 Chemo and then 12 +hour surgery. I'm still here a
staying positive, currently in Remission Hope all goes well for you x
