Long story short dad 79 lump in neck,told cancer parotid gland,partial removal,full neck dissection four weeks ago on Wednesday.

Just had a call from the ent consultant to be told it's been confirmed not a primary tumour,no idea where it's come from ,will now need more scans and pet scans and will discuss further on Monday...I'm terrified for my dad ,dreading what's to come.

Hi RedTree, I know this would be very worrying, but don't panic. This happens and there are many on here who have had the same, and have been successfully treated, hopefully someone who has experienced this will give you some information.

Thankyou .It's just a lot for my Dad to be going through at his age and mum's older and not coping great...we'll know more Monday when we see the ent consultant to discuss in more detail.

Hi RedTree26

Not the news you wanted but fingers crossed they find the primary and can treat it. Hopefully your dad’s PET is soon. How is your dad feeling after his op?
