Unknown Primary

Hi Biggles, My primary cancer was not found until one year after I had a second cancerous lymph node removed! I was initially told that sometimes the Primary is so tiny that the bodies own immune system can deal with it! I was eventually diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer(rare) however, I am currently 3 years,2 months Post-treatment and tomorrow I have another 4 monthly review appointment,fingers crossed!

Best wishes and big hugs to all, Alison.x

Happy New Year Al!

You ask how can they treat an unknown cancer? Well maybe they have Broad Spectrum Chemo drugs just like they do with antibiotics when you have an unknown virus they give you a Broad Spectum Antibiotic which means that it can treat a broad spectrum of virus's.

Who knows you should ask your onc!!  Good Luck with your treatment!

Love Julie xx
