Hi Group. My name is Kelli and I am 41. I was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer on May 1 of this year. I have gone through three rounds of chemo (cisplatin, 5FU and taxotere). Today I started my chemo (ciplatin) and radiation phase for the next 7 weeks. I am just wondering if there are any long-term survivors of this cancer. It is in my head, 2 lymph nodes in my neck anda small spot on my pelvis. I am just feeling overwhelmed because I really don't know of anyone who has this cancer. I am feeling sad and angry...but I want to be hopeful. Most days I am but today has been hard. Thanks for reading!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head and Neck Cancers group.

Hi Kelli
I have not heard of this type of cancer, what are your symptoms?, I really pray that you will beat it and meanwhile the treatment is tolerable, I think most of us are angry and sad with cancer, its like a thunderbolt to our existence, but many do survive and years after are still here to tell us.
God bless you Helen

k-
it's like that. some days are really rough. not only the impact of cancer itself, but all the real life pressures which do not go away. I finally learned to take each day for itself. i have found that cancer changed me forever, and that the human body is amazing and can overcome tremendous adversity. it's a long road to recovery.
read all you can stand and ask questions. ultimately it is your battle and you have to take charge. talk soon.
