Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma is a cancer of the sinus. It is very uncommon, not only in this country but in this part of the world. It usually occurs in oriental males. Like my primary doctor says, “Leave it to you to get something weird”. I guess I am going to have to do some more research on the family genealogy to find out where this one came from. Normal treatment for this type of cancer is chemotherapy and radiation. We are, at this time, getting a primary cancer care doctor and from there one who will oversee the chemo and radiation. I am going to beat this thing, but to do this I need all the help I can get. If you would all put me in your prayers it would be appreciated. I will do my best to keep everyone updated on a regular basis. Emails and calls are welcome, Email address is 3jmhamm...@clearwire.net and home phone is 360 658 5878. I am going to continue to work as I can, but I usually get pretty tired early in the afternoon. I have an appointment on Friday with a doctor at the University of Washington , and hope to know more by then. The really weird thing is that if you look this up online it comes back as being related, somehow, to Epstein-Bar Virus, and notes an immune system problem. Sound familiar? Does this mean I have been blessed once again? I don’t have the email address for Dr. Kerr, but I figure he might be interested in this. If someone would forward this, please Take care everyone, Mike
