So after removing a lump on my husband's lymph node and confirming cancerous cells he was then sent for a PET scan which as previous tests before surgery still can not find the location of the cancer...he is now scheduled for surgery to remove tonsils and some tissue from his tongue for more biopsys, anyone else has a similar experience, the unknown is so frustrating
Hi Bex1983. I just dropped by and noticed you not had an answer to this post here but I see you've received an answer in the Head and Neck group.
I myself have a different type of cancer so I can't comment or advise but by my answering your post will be "bumped" up to the top of the listing here.
The waiting and worrying is so frustrating, I agree. The unknown is the hardest part of this journey so I hope his scheduled surgery reveals more answers.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your husband's journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
