I googled this cancer as I had not heard of it . As it is rare you may find someone on a site called the Rare Cancer Alliance ,an on-line support group . I hope you find someone here though, as it means finding another Australian . ... View more

You certainly don't need that and nor does your wife . May I suggest that you approach your gp who can arrange counselling for yourself . Medicare fund this for anyone needing it and there would be no out -of - pocket expense if you can find a counsellor who is willing to bulk bill . Your wife may be able to get help from the Cancer Council . The social worker at a hospital may be able to help . I hope you don't feel I'm suggesting something that would add another difficulty in your lives . I just think it may help to have someone outside the family with whom you can talk . I also understand if neither of you want to do this . Families are so complicated ! ... View more

It was removed under a general anaesthetic and then biopsied . Later there was another operation to remove all the tumour and to get clear margins . My nose is all there ,just a scar down one side . ... View more

That is unlucky to be misdiagnosed and therefore treated and with a carcinogen as a child,Ron.Children's bodies are probably more susceptible to damage . No wonder you think this was a major factor in the development of your cancer . As to the comment that many people have major stress in their lives and never get cancer ,there are a host of other medical conditions which can be triggered by stress. Also some manage to combat stress in healthy ways such as diet,exercise ,meditation and hobbies . The human body is so complex and our bodies are all as individual as experiences . We will probably never know for sure why we got cancer . ... View more

I feel for you .It isn't fair . I think there is more support out there, and of course here, than there was 5 years ago. All the best and hoping things work out better than you fear . ... View more

I think anyone who is diagnosed with cancer feels isolation at times ,despite support. After all it is you going through this .Noone can go through it for you . Remember your parents are there for you and they may seem as if they do not understand but they probably understand more than you realise . Friends may not seem to get what is happening but they may be trying to help you to feel normal .It could be their way of helping . Of course it is only you who knows how you feel and it is hard to communicate that to others when they want everything to be how it was . From what I read it looks as though everything will return to normal or close to it . You did not say what is going to be done .Is it a case of just monitoring or is a treatment in the planning ? ...
