Hi Cedriccheah,

I saw your post and your experience on the FESS and its complications after that. I went to Dr. Gan also recently, in fact, just last week, when my nose was bleeding for about a month and did not heal after seeing a GP, so I went to Dr. Gan in Sunway. Went for a follow up this week with Dr. Gan, the bleeding was healed and he asked me if i want to do a full Sinus Scan to see if my Sinus is ok...

So I agreed since I always have this sinus problems with my sensitive nose and i thought it would be good also to find out.

Scan was alright as there was no tumour or something like that, but bad news was my sinus was clogged/narrow and I had quite a big POLYPS on my right side of my sinus. So, to make the story short, Dr. Gan advised me to go for FESS (Functional endoscopic sinus surgery) to take out the Polyps and also to test and see if the polyps type, worry it is Iverted Papilloma which may cause cancer in the future.

My question is, since you have experience on the FESS and had complications, I was worried also. I do not mind going for FESS if that will solve some issues, but do you think I should check with Columbia hospital before going for the FESS? What should I check with Columbia?

Most importantly, how are you feeling right now after all the hassle with FESS (2 times) and 3 Specialist in Columbia? Do you feel totally alright now or any complications still now?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cedriccheah,

Thanks for your opinion. Can tell more about your condition now after all the trouble?? Permanently better?

Also, Dr. Gan told me to go for the surgery because also to see if the Polyps is Inverted Papilloma type...which he said usually turns into cancerous...and said cannot do just biopsy to test without the FESS...(wondering if that is entirely true). Will go for 2nd opinion....

ExCrIpT,

Thanks for your opinion too.
