Olfactory neuroblastoma at age 29

Hi all,

 

I just got diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma yesterday after a call from my doctor. I had visited an ENT for a sinusitis check last week and he told me he found some growth and did a biospy and ordered a CT scan. He got the biopsy radiology results today and called me to inform of the diagnosis. He has referred me to a sinus cancer specialist and shared the biopsy slides with their institute for further inspection. I'm supposed to meet the new doctor on Friday.

 

I'm 29 years old and I'm just feeling helpless and so scared. I came across this website and this group so I feel like I'm not alone. 

 

I am struggling to keep my emotions in check amd can't stop crying. Tears come and go in phases. I'm hoping the Friday consultation will provide some help.

 

Any help/thoughts would help.

 

Thanks,

Divya
