Hi to all,
Over the last couple of months (13 months post partial-mandibulectomy and neck dissection) I have realised I can no longer sneeze through my nose. This seems bizarre to me and weird sneezing via my mouth. Has this happened to anyone else and why would this happen? I will let my doctor know on February 20th at my next review and see what he has to say as surely it must be related. So strange.
Thanks,

Crikey Carolyn. That's weird. Do you mean when you shut your mouth to stifle a sneeze and you get a mini one through your nose?

If it’s new and you can’t breathe through your nose I would mention it at your next review. Otherwise consider yourself weird… especially as you’ve had an NED so recently.
