Sinus Cancer Going Thru Radiation

Sinus Carcinoma is not commone but I would not call it "rare" either.

Not knowing more details of the the extent of tumor and the path from the surgeries I can't comment much on specific treatment.  Were there lymphnodes involved?  As you continue with the treatment the sore throat will get worse.  Do you have a feeding tube?  I would recomment it to help you thru treatment.  They can give topical agents and even pain meds to help but the big thing is to maintain nutrition and hydration so you heal and don't have to interrupt treatment. (which although may make you feel better ,decreased the chances of cure, unless the dose is raised)

Hi my name is Cindy.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. You are not alone.

 I was diagnosed at 38 with sinus & nasal cavity cancer at the end of 2005.

Squamous cell carcinoma.

I had to go to Dana Farber Cancer Institute to get an opinion on treatment.

I was the third patient they had seen. I had chemo & radiation. What stage are you.Please feel free to email me cjcycling66@aol.com
