Hi all, I’m new to all of this. My dad found out that he has cancer in the salivary gland. He was referred pretty quick for MRI, CT scan and ultra sound to see if it has spread further. Today the consultant phoned him and has asked if he can go and see him a week Thursday and to bring someone along with him, they also said that he will be there most of the day.
Is this normal? What does it mean? I’m so worried, I feel like it’s going to be terrible news
Hi Concerned.daughter and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your dad has been diagnosed with cancer in his salivary gland and know what a difficult time this will be for you both.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the head and neck cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others.
To join just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your dad's diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
