hi all. new to this. today i was told i had tong cancer and it has spread to a lymph node in my neck. they told me this is aggressive. there is a chance i can have lift changing surgery as long as it has not spread to my chest. CT today so tomorrow i get the answer. if i cant there will be nothing they can do. if i can have the surgery i was wondering if anyone has had similar ? i understand the surgery only has 40% success rate but would be lovely to hear form anyone with similar?
Hi Merlin101 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I can't help with your questions, as I have a different type of cancer, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. However, I can see that you've had lots of replies to the same post in the head and neck cancer group, which is great.
I'm hoping you had good news from your CT scan the other day and wish you all the best.
