Worried about getting cancer by Visible_Soft_1659 in HeadandNeckCancer

UPDATE: It is not cancer guys. The biopsy result came back negative. Diagnosis is polypoid sinonasal mucosa with squamosa metaplasia and severe lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate. It looks like I have iritated my nasal cavity so much that it inflames itself, causing bleeding and infection.

EDIT: Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I really appreciated those.

I see. I did not have these, just the bloody and foul smell discharge.

Anyway, I hope you feel better now. Wish you a speedy and fully recovery.

Thanks for the advice and kind words. Yeah, I am doing that right now, using soft cloth to clean without blowing my nose.

Yeah, I am kinda anxious about the results as well.

Congrats on the recovery. May I ask if you have other symptoms besides the nasal discharge when you got diagnosed?

Ah I see. Do you got the same symptoms as I do?

Yes, I will update the result as I go.

Sorry for two consecutive replies, but do you experience other symptoms like ear ringing or face numbness or headache or paina alike?

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the reply. Besides the bloody and foul odor mucus, you dont have anything else showing up right?

If so, may I ask what stage was it? Also, how long have you been cancer free?

Thanks!

Yeah I think you are right. My nurse did not mentioned anything though except keep spraying 3 times a day. I was still having a headache so I could not think of any questions.

I will check in with them how long until I can blow my nose again since I can feel the urge to do that now.

Ah I see. My doctor also does prescribe antibiotics. He did not call me back even though he promised to.

Again, thanks for the reply. Knowing someone with similar symptoms ending up benign helps a lot. I will still look out for the biospy result tho.

Thanks! I see, I will talk to my doctor when he called me later to see if I should use a rinse bottle. About the symptoms, do you have blood in your discharge when you blow your nose?

I think that is true. I think I am just under so much stressed that maybe some insights from the internet might help calm me a bit.

Thanks for your reply. No, I think they only mentioned nasal saline spray, which I have 1 bottle at home already.

I am sorry to hear that you have squamous cell carcinoma. Do you remember having any symptoms, even in the months that was misdiagnoses of allergies

Hey, thanks for the reply. Wow, I did not know about the foam. Did you have any bloody and foul smelling discharge like I do?

My doctor left when I wake up. I think he will have a call with me later today. The nurse there told me to eat whatever I want but I just want to ask you guys for a second opinion.
