I read something saying Stage 3, which is.. bad.. to say the least. I don't know if radiotherapy is enough. It's ultimately his and his medical professional's call.
We're on a badminton forum, of course we're concerned about his career. It could mean we don't see him playing again.
True mate. But now his priorities would be different. It is diagnosed in the early stage as mentioned in articles. As far as I know, nasal cancer has a quick recovery

Health first. No need money or glory at 36yo. Ego? What is he trying to prove at this age? Enjoy family life. No point aggravating.
I think when momota retired... he will say i let him win his last Mo2018.

Wish Lee ChongWei get well soon. He brought excitement and joy to a lot of badminton fans. He deserves better.

The Bam statement says early stage so I'd tend to believe that over random social media posts
My ENT friend says stage 3 is when you start get symptoms. Sounds logical that this would be when most cases are discovered.

Since it is out in the open now. His condition is critical not life threatening. Dnd he sort of lose more weight than usual. As he is already skinny. Being said that, they want this issue to be private. It is added stress to the country as well as for his family. He love badminton very much. Literally it is in his blood and he enjoyed playing for his country. And those cells are taking his passion away for now. The Cancer sort of shocked his mind for now.

- KUALA LUMPUR: Badminton icon Datuk Lee Chong Wei, who is battling nose cancer, says he is determined to make a return to the court.
While many sportsmen would have given up hope of making a comeback under such circumstances, the 35-year-old wants to go on playing competitively again.
“Wait for me. I’ll return to the court. Don’t forget me yet, I’m still here,” he said in an encouraging voice message from Taiwan where he is seeking medical treatment.
The three-time Olympic silver medallist and 12-time Malaysian Open champion is expected to come home to Malaysia at the end of the month.
He has been in Taiwan with wife Datin Wong Mew Choo and sons Kingston and Terrance since July.
“I’ll return soon. Thank you for all the concern and care shown to me during my two-month recovery.
“I’ll ... say more when I come back.”
The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) confirmed Chong Wei’s ailment in a statement yesterday.
This followed a false posting on social media, which went viral on Friday, claiming that Chong Wei was suffering from third stage nose cancer.
BAM president Datuk Seri Norza Zakaria asked for Chong Wei to be given space and peace of mind to recover.
Norza, who has been aware of Chong Wei’s condition from the beginning, said in a statement: “In response to recent reports concerning Chong Wei, BAM confirms that the player has been diagnosed with early stage nose cancer.
“Chong Wei is now in Taiwan seeking treatment and I’m pleased to inform you that he is responding well to treatment and is resting and recuperating among family and close friends.
“On behalf of Chong Wei, I would like to thank all Malaysians for your prayers and concern. Your support has been his source of strength and courage.
“We urge everyone to respect his privacy and that of his family. BAM is in constant contact with Chong Wei and we will offer any support we can to our legend.”
Two months ago, BAM announced that Chong Wei had taken a break from badminton after being diagnosed with a respiratory-related disorder.
He withdrew from two major competitions – the World Championships in Nanjing, China, in August and the Asian Games in Indonesia last month.

Yes, LCW, come back soon, I'm waiting to see you on the badminton court.
Despite his shocking,threatening illness, I believe badminton is his first love and returning to competition is the greatest motivation in his life at the moment, just what he needs to fight depression, stay positive and look on the bright side.
Personally,I'm all for him resuming where he left off. I'm pretty sure he's still good enough to give the two most talked-about MS , Momota and Ginting, a run for their money.
Cheers, all the very best, LCW !

KUALA LUMPUR (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysia's national badminton coach Hendrawan will patiently wait for Lee Chong Wei's return so that they can both discuss his future in badminton.
Indonesian Hendrawan, who has formed a close bond with Lee since taking charge of him in the last few years, is happy with the three-time Olympic silver medallist's progress as he undergoes treatment for early-stage nose cancer in Taiwan.
Hendrawan said the 35-year-old felt something was wrong during the Indonesian Open in Jakarta in the first week of July. Just days before the Indonesian Open, Lee had put up a fantastic show to win the Malaysian Open for the 12th time at home.
"Chong Wei really pushed himself to win the Malaysian Open and I asked whether he still wanted to compete in the Indonesian Open. Chong Wei still had the fire in him and wanted to win the title for a record seventh time," said Hendrawan.
"I've never seen him so tired before. It was unlike him. Chong Wei left for home to find out what was wrong," said Hendrawan.
"When I returned home on (July 9), Chong Wei told me that he had something urgent to tell me. I went to his house and he broke the news. I was devastated but told him to get a second opinion.
"Chong Wei came back with a second opinion from another doctor two days later and it was confirmed that it is cancer.
"We spoke about his treatment and Chong Wei found out that only a few countries had the best treatment for nose cancer and Taiwan was one of them. They have the best modern facilities there and most advanced medication."
Two weeks ago, Hendrawan and Lee's former coach Tey Seu Bock visited him.
"I'm so happy that his treatment is coming to an end. I'm looking forward to his return to Kuala Lumpur. Once he has recovered completely, Chong Wei and I will discuss his plans for the future," said Hendrawan.
Tey said it was difficult to accept Lee's illness at first.
"I've known know Chong Wei since he was a junior and I questioned why it had to happen to him.
"He is the fittest player in the national team," said Tey.
"He did not look too good when I visited him recently but now, he's back to his usual self. Chong Wei is a fighter and I'm happy to see him being so positive. He is truly an example to others."
National doubles shuttler Goh V Shem said the players knew about Lee's condition and were hoping for the best.
"He will always be our hero. We hope he will recover soon and be healthy again. Stay strong Chong Wei," said Goh.
National doubles shuttler Vivian Hoo said all players missed his presence at the training centre.
"We were sad when we found out. He is an inspiration to us and we hope he will continue with his fight. He must rest well and recover soon," said Hoo.
Many others expressed their wishes too - sports officials and media from abroad, local and international fans - and all hoped Lee will be back and even challenge himself to have a shot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

why not just discuss LCW's junior's future instead as when the time LCW go retirement, who will take over as the best single player for Malaysia team...

For his health, he might as well retire because he got nothing to prove already unless he wants to increase the cancer relapse

Is there any evidence suggesting that training hard after cancer increases the risk of relapse?
