Guest: Jim Kow, Founder, Cancer Survivor Support Group, Andrew Say, NPC Survivor, Dr Matin Mellor Abdullah, Consultant Clinical Oncologist
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is treatable, and even curable, when patients are diagnosed at the earlier stages. But the treatment journey can be long and arduous, due to the intensity of the therapies. We speak to two survivors to find out how they stayed resilient throughout treatment, and how the Cancer Survivor Support Group is there through thick and thin for survivors.
NCD Chronicles is a series about people living with NCDs, going beyond the diagnosis to explore their personal experiences, their challenges, as well as the impact of their health condition on their loved ones.
