Hi there,
First thing to say is i know i need to see a doctor but i just want to see if my symptoms are familiar to anyone with nasal/sinus cancer.
My septum started breaking down about a year ago and what started as a small hole is now so bad there is literally no separation of my nostrils and my septum is all but gone. i can push my finger in my nose past my second knuckle. I was diagnosed with GPA vasculitis and had a course of chemotherapy to suppress my immune system 6 months ago.
Since then Im still suffering with symptoms that i’m not sure is linked to GPA and im concerned that i have a tumour or cancer and i will explain my symptoms.
I have constant tinnitus in my left ear, neither of my ears ever pop and constantly muffled, i can feel a lump/growth quite far up my right side nostril and my nose blocks everyday abd i have to snort big lumps of bloody mucus out every 6 hours or so. My nasal drip from nose to throat is blocked and when i put my finger really far into my nose i can feel a soft lump of mucus but i can never clear it or get it out, my lymph nodes are constantly swollen in my neck, i have a hard pea sized lump just in front of my ear on right side just under cheek bone level. I struggle with balance and dizziness, some days my hearing is non existent and the last few days i have developed a crackling rasping chest when i breathe and a chesty/mucus cough. My gums are inflamed, i have loose teeth on one side which is my right side and i feel like shit all the time. exhausted, breathless, pain in lots of areas and i just wondered if anyone can relate to my symptoms as i’m worried about nasal/sinus cancer
thankyou
