Clean bill of health
I am 2.5 years post last treatment for NPC stage 3 (radiation and chemo, no surgery).
2.5 months ago I had a bad infectious otitis media, followed by a nasty vertigo – and this scared me a lot, I thought it was a reoccurrence.
The ENT specialist ordered a few tests, CT, MRI, and nasal scoping done by him, and upon reviewing everything today, all is fine! The post radiation fibrosis was the only culprit.
Other than that, I experience the usual symptoms, but getting better (dry mouth not so dry except during nights, taste is OK except for sweets, which is even better, hearing loss – that’s permanent, no improvement, but using hearing aids).

Two and a half years is just great news. C e l e b r a t e ! !
All these acomplishments are big to us. To the ones that have never had to fight the beast they might not seem as big as they really are, so Celebrate each and every one.

WTG Corleone!!!
We had the same diagnosis, same stage.....same treatment......pretty close to the same time. I'm delighted that you are doing so well now (we seem to have the same after effects, too ...no sweet taste and stiff necks)....
I'll bet that infection just about sent you into orbit with worry....SO glad it was an infection and easily dealt with. Vertigo is no joke, that's for sure.
