Metro Detroit doctor ignores symptoms he had no idea were signs of rare nose cancer

When a local doctor ignored some symptoms, he had no idea those were signs of a rare nose cancer. Luckily, his physician was able to catch it and thanks to a new type of radiation at Beaumont Hospital, he is back treating his patients. Dr. Sammit Sabharwal explained, “I know what that is. I’m not even going to get evidence to figure out if I’m right or not.”

Cancer of the nasalpharanyx. Maybe the spelling off, I had it age 27. I'm almost 53 now. Years I coped with severe headaches on one side of my head. Severe nosebleeds and hearing loss. I lost a job because of the health issues. Drs didn't know my problem. I were sent to a specialist that diagnosed me. I was in stage 3 r 4. It had spread to lymphnodes in my neck. Chemo & Radiation, I got in remission. There's more to my story. I'm 24yr survivor. I had covid a month ago. Severe nasal drainage on right side. Drainage stopped, but I feel a blockage on that side. I have a Dr appointment Tuesday. I pray all is well. It's been to long for it to come back, unless covid or Paxlovid caused it. I will see🙏

This happen to me. A couple years too late though. I’ve gone through some extensive surgeries of which my nose needed to be removed but it was put back on. I also needed to have radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks. I’m still not okay… If you have chronic migraines please go to an ent.

My daughter is 13 yrs old, she has had these symptoms for a year now, cant small, blocked nose on left side, runny nose on the other side, we have tried everything nothing works. I hope and pray its not cancer because we live in South Africa and cant afford medical aid, the government hospitals here are terrible, being a third world country.

I had exact same problems, ignored a runny nose for almost a year, first of all told it was a polyp so I didn't push it thought it ok they will just cut it out no problem.
Then covid kicked in and everything was put on hold.
By the time I was sent for a MRI scan turned out to be cancer.
I had surgery on the 02/10 this year, which went better than expected, I recovered really well.
Now I'm waiting on proton beam treatment which I'm hoping to start very soon.
So please don't ignore symptoms, the sooner you deal with it, better the outcome!
Just an update....I'm having a operation on the 26 September 2022 as I found a lump in my neck which turned out to be cancerous.
So I'm having my lymph nodes removed....wish me luck guys.)

My husband has it. He's got it shrunk by 1/2 in size. He has three more chemos maybe proton too. It's very scary.glad it's treatable but he's lost 50 pounds and he was never fat to begin with. It's a hardship to watch his illness
I'm praying it works

Why doesn’t insurance pay for proton radiation therapy? How did you get around that? How can I get around that?

What I’m going through right now, had horrible pain and nasal drainage issues, not knowing what it was. It’s been about 3 years, and I’ve been to so many doctors. The ER told me I wasn’t a real case after I waited 8 years. I haven’t gone and gotten diagnosed, im so screwed

Can you interview him for the possible causes? That will be helpful in prevention, not just waiting for the diagnosis stage. Thanks.

My mom has constant runny nose. Every time she mentions it to the doctor they just tell her to use Flonase but nothing helps.

Crazy as it may be I'm using goggle & utube on cancer of nose. For afew weeks my nose been red & wasn't going to Dr for this but my regular routine visit. Asked about my nose & thank God I did. She's keeping close attention & Oct. 26 I get my nose checked. I'm praying nothing is leading to cancer. I do not enjoy or stay in sun for it too turn red. There has been skin cancer in family. I've got some of the symptoms they report of cancer on the nose. Gods got a purpose in everything, the great physician. Hardest part is waiting.
