in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I am a 12 year survivor of Nasophylangeal Cancer with metatsis to the lung.  I have also had a bladder cancer and been cancer free for four years up until a week ago.   I was experiencing some wierd stufdf in my right ear and my ENT doctor found an agreesive growth in the far inner portion of my ear canal.  Biopsy confirms squamous cell carcinoma and today I am having a CAt Scan and a MRI done to determine scope of the tumor.  The technocal terms used is "SCC of the EAC" and is consdiered a post-irratiated tumor derived from extensive radiation treatments for the NPC.  As this is pretty rare situation I am hoping to find other like patients to get a better understanding of the symptoms and expectations goping forwrd.  My doctor is very forth coming =, but I want to hear it from those with first hand experience.  All the medical reserarch I have done is not very encouraging for outcomes, although vary from drastic surgery to well, you know.

Please respond if you or someone close to you has gone through this particular cancer.  Thank you!
