Hi all my dad had tonsil cancer and 2 lymph nodes they caught very early. He had 2 rounds of chemo and 30days radiation. He finished 8 weeks again and most things are good just the eating as still painful, but yesterday he noticed a lump on his lower jaw the same side as the cancer, it’s tender not sore. He went to the dentist today and it’s not anything dental. He has called his cancer doctor to speak about this. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else as we are both really scared.
Good evening Hayes83, i agree with PFJTHS about lumps and bumps appearing, also it does sound very early for cancer to return Well done in getting it checked and calling your dad's consultant as I'm sure they will see you a.s.a.p, mainly because of your dads' recent treatment. I still have a small lump in my neck which appeared after my first surgery/treatment, it cannot be seen but i can feel it , it's about the size of a pea and was checked 12 years ago so hopefully this is the same with your dad. We all have periods of worry when something does not feel right and in most cases its nothing sinister. Wishing you and your dad all the best, take care.
