Recent throat cancer diagnosis, P16 negative

Think I am on similar journey just slightly behind waiting for pathology after Tors

Hoping they find your primary. Tors was on the 22nd October and results on the 3rd November. Praying for you ️

Sorry to hear about your relative's diagnosis.  My primary was eventually found, but I'm sure I've heard of some forum members with an unknown primary.  Hopefully someone in that situation will reply to you later on.  In the meanwhile stay well away from google.  My consultant used to say that the only websites I should look at were the NHS, and the ones run by cancer charities.  

Thx - Sounds like moving more quickly than me - tors 27th no date for follow up - rang up to chase to be told specialist secretary off sick ! Pushed person on phone but didn’t fill me with confidence so contacted the cancers nurses - good look to u 2 will be interested on comparing notes - pain finally easing ! I will admit eating a weetabix made me cry the other day.

Path results are taking two to three weeks. If you haven’t heard by then I would try again 

Thank you so much for your reply. I know it will probably be said a thousand times but speaking to people who understand, helps so much. 
take care

Bless you! Hopefully they come back with some results soon! The waiting is agonising. My dad can’t speak like he used to do. His tongue and mouth is still swollen and sore. He has only just found drinking a little easier. He can eat weetabix now but not smooth soup! It’s very strange. We have a date now for his neck dissection which should be on the 20th. Followed with 6/7 weeks of daily radiotherapy. He was told he isn’t well enough with his other health conditions to have chemo. Hoping surgery and radio do their thing. 
Take care, I’m here if you want to talk or any help with anything - I can if I will
