'I almost lost my life, but I chose to cut off my nose instead' - Mother of five and a cancer survivor Tina Earls has bravely shared her story.
But a week later, the doctor's voice had completely changed. He was talking very slowly, so I already felt that I was going to be receiving very bad news.
But I had also spoken to an oncologist who told me that radiotherapy was my only choice, as the cancerous cells had spread.While I was at home watching the TV, I saw a commercial for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. So, I called them immediately and within a week, I was in Chicago at their head and neck specialist treatment center.
After further surgeries, I was told that although I was technically cancer free, my cells were in severe dysphagia, which meant that there was a very high chance that the cancer would come back. But I had missed my window of opportunity to have radiotherapy. After my final surgery, my cells were supposed to be susceptible enough for radiation to actually work, but the cells were too damaged.
But I looked in the mirror, and I took a deep breath, and I felt like I was filled with faith. She said to me,"You really are a rockstar." I then looked at my husband, and his eyes had not changed at all. He still looked at me like I was the most beautiful woman in the world to him, and that gave me a lot of strength and power. I felt very loved by my friends and family.I often share my story on TikTok to raise awareness of nasal cancer.
Sometimes, water does get into it, and when it does, it goes straight to the back of my throat. There have been times when I've gotten shampoo water in the hole and I felt a burning sensation. Getting water in the hole burns in general unless it's saline-treated.
