I’m 3 years post diagnosis & treatment. I was T2N1M0 so the 6 week ChemoRadio schedule.
its only now, in the past 3 months, my sinuses are so debilitating. I have spoken to my oncologist about it, it is a common side effect, but there doesn’t appear anything much I can do to alleviate it. I have been given an Otrivine spray but that has a limited usage to a week at a time. I’ve done allergy prick tests to see if by some chance I’ve suddenly developed an allergy, they’ve come up negative. I’m taking antihistamines every day which ease the nasal drip and stinging nose to some extent, but it’s not ideal. I struggle with facial pressure, headache, nasal drip, ear disturbance ( fizzing and deafness) which I assume is gunk. it’s getting worse for sure and of course the wheels start turning. Have any of you experienced this and how do you ease the discomfort.
thanks so very much
