Nasopharyngeal Cancer?? need more info....

[iheartnursing_cali]

Hi, I was wondering if I can get some information about nasopharyngeal cancer. My brother-in-law was diagnosed with this cancer (T4 stage) in Feb. of this year. He has had an agressive amount of treatment of both radiation therapy and chemo. and well I have never heard of this type of cancer before, but I have researched a lot about it through the internet and read that T4 is the last stage. Well I just wanted to know your experience with nasopharyngeal cancer patient in the T4 stage whether it's a patient of yours or someone you know. Are there a lot of these patients that beat this type of cancer? It's really hard for him now, to the point where he is asking why this had to happen to him or if he did anything wrong, what did he do to deserve this? What can you actually say to a person in this situation but show that you care and be supportive...We are all praying for him to get better and I'm hoping you will all pray for him too.Thanks....

The report I have to give on my one and only naso-pharangyal patient is not ultimately very good, even though it initially appeared to be. I'll give you the option of PM'ng me if you want to hear the story rather than forcing you to read it here in a post should you not want to read negative stuff.

Either way, I will include your BIL in my prayers.
