Since getting diagnosed and starting treatment, I've found that one of the best ways to gather information is to hear about other people's stories first-hand, in their own words, where you can find them.
Not a ton of people write about this or share it too often, so these are not very common, but below are some links to some articles, memoirs, profiles and social accounts of people charting their journey through rhinectomies. I'll try to keep adding to this list as I find them.
Short warning that some of these come with pretty clear images of the process, but if you're on this path, it's something to get used to.
