I’m really wanting to hear from someone else in a same or similar position to a family member of mine. They have recently been diagnosed with throat cancer after finding a lump in the neck. They have had tors for removal on tonsils and base of tongue. These tests came back that there was no cancer present and they cannot find the primary. The cancer is p16 negative, plan is neck dissection with radiotherapy as chemo isn’t an option as they aren’t fit enough.
please help me, dr google isn’t very nice with the search results

Hi I was diagnosed with the same problem. Chemotherapy and radiation can work. It took a year to sort out, at the moment I’m clear . Make sure you have a tube fitted as you will this . Please just stay strong.
