I was diagnosed on Monday with a Metastatic squamous cell cancer in the lymph nodes in my groin. Fortunately all other lymph nodes on CT scan looked fine so I’ve been referred to colorectal and gynaecology as they think this is where the primary cancer may be. I have appointments for both on the 24th March for further tests. Coping well with the news so far but hoping the primary is found soon so I can start treatment
Hello Wendi45

I am sorry to hear that you have had a diagnosis of cancer and that they are not sure where the primary is.
I hope that your appointments go well on the 24th and brings some clarification for you.
In the meantime I will pop some information here that may be helpful.
