I've just been diagnosed with secondary cancer in a neck node but they can't find the primary source. I've had CT, MRI and a PET scan but they still can't find it. The Drs think its in the throat and I am booked in for exploratory surgery the week after next for them to take biopsies. The plan is that if they can't find the primary site that I will more broad targeted radiotherapy on my throat. I'm very worried about this approach and how severe the post period and recovery will be. Anyone who has had the same treatment that can give me any advice would be appreciated.
Jeremy,
I've replied to you on the New to the Community.
CUP is not applicable here. Squamous cells found in your neck node/s come from the oropharynx and nowhere else so head on over to the Head and Neck Cancer Forum
