The biopsy of lesion came back as cancer likely affecting jaw. Will need surgery to include some jaw bone and nodes in neck, although they aren’t necessarily affected, I think.
Need scan and X-ray to know more and possible radiotherapy later.
Still reeling a bit. Quite a frightening future, but not sure of all the facts yet.
Thank you for any help, advice and support.

Hi Cathy. I have just joined this site. I can’t offer any advice as my first appointment is on Monday so very nervous for the outcome. I just wanted to send you a cyber 
hug and positive vibes and to wish you well. Take care x
Hi Cathy. Not the news you wanted but at least you’re on your way to getting fixed. Surgeons do wonderful stuff with reconstruction and I’m sure you will be brilliantly looked after. chris2012 had a successful jaw reconstruction and I’m sure he’ll be along soon to add his words of wisdom. There is a forum member here Penrod who has a blog on his jaw cancer. I’ll see if I can find a link.
Best of luck. Trust your team, they know what they are doing and they are good at it.
yes here it is
Best wishes.

Your treatment plan is in place. It’s the new patients on the diagnosis pathway that are more at risk of delays.
Every trust is different in the way it copes but I wouldn’t worry too much
