Mom’s Excessive Snoring Turns Out to Be Rare Type of Cancer
- In January 2023, Claire Barbery from Newquay, Cornwall, sought medical help after snoring and a blocked nose led to a rare cancer diagnosis.
- She nearly cancelled her appointment initially, thinking nothing was wrong and not wanting to waste NHS time, but this delay could have been fatal.
- Scans and biopsy revealed a 5cm olfactory neuroblastoma tumor eroding her skull base, requiring complex surgery at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
- Consultant surgeon Shahz Ahmed performed the surgery in January last year, which was a huge success with no complications; Claire then completed six weeks of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
- Claire has joined forces with the UK charity Get A-Head to promote recognition of head and neck cancer on its dedicated awareness day, while encouraging people to consult healthcare professionals if they experience ongoing symptoms.
