Nasopharyngeal cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the part of the throat connecting the back of the nose to the back of the mouth (the pharynx).

In the UK, about 250 people are diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer each year.

Nasopharyngeal cancer shouldn’t be confused with other types of cancer that also affect the throat, such as laryngeal cancer and esophageal cancer.

Anthony was diagnosed with stage 4 Nasal Pharyngeal Carcinoma in early 2016 and followed advice from his local doctors to receive radiation and chemotherapy treatment. After 7 weeks of constant Radiotherapy followed by 2 high-dose chemotherapy sessions, Anthony had to refuse further treatment as he was worried for his deteriorating health.

Anthony began recovering but soon the Cancer returned to his nose, face and retina on the left side of his head. Again his local oncologist recommended chemo which he says he “flat out refused”

During his healing process, Anthony stumbled upon a cancer center documentary by Ty Bollinger which lead him to seek immunotherapy treatment at Verita Life in Thailand.

So far Anthony is extremely impressed with his treatment noting that every treatment plan is tailored for each patient depending on their cancer type, needs and health condition. His tumors have reduced by 40% and his markers are down 50% and he’s well on his way to seeing the cancer eventually gone.

Anthony has nothing but praise for the way he’s been treated and broke into tears reminiscing over the difficult journey he’s taken to get here. He recommends those with cancer diagnoses not to jump into treatment and instead explore options and find what fits them best.
