I had salivary gland cancer so whole patroid gland removed it then had spread to spine and pelvis was in a lot of pain left me with it for 7 months before doing radiotherapy that has helped why could it not have been done earlier
Hi Dave. So sorry to see you here with your story. I find it difficult to understand why you were kept waiting so long. When was the spread to your bones diagnosed?

It was aftera 3 month after having my gland removed the most annoying thing was when I went to GP he said the lump in my neck was a swollen nymph node and nothing to worry about so I did nothing for about it for 10 months but went to see another GP who told me it was possible cancer and so it was in hospital 1week after to have my whole gland removed and loads of nymph nodes
Yes some GPs ( and dentists) need to up their CPD. I hope your doctors can keep you comfortable for a long long time. Have you family to support you?
