Hello everyone, I'm new to this and would like some help please. I was recently told that I have cancer in my neck after discovering a small bean size lump below my right ear, this has now grown into a hard mass and has now moved to the front of my neck (thankfully not stopping me eating, breathing etc) after ultrasound, MRI, CT scan and then a biopsy I was told it was 5.2cm. I was also told that I have a 1cm node on my right lung, I'm terrified but I have an appointment with the lung clinic on Tuesday and I don't know what to expect, would anyone have any advice please.
Hi Allipally
Sorry to hear your news
Do you have biopsy results? Do you know what they are?
The lung consultant may want to biopsy the lung lesion. I’m sure they will give you plenty of time to explain things. Can you take somebody in with you to hear what you don’t?

I actually went a little further during my second diagnosis, I recorded all my appointments on my phone; obviously you'd need to get the OK from the medics involved, but they were quite happy for me to do it Was during covid so I was alone at the appts, proved very useful.
