Negative lymph nodes

Hi

My husband saw the Consultant 20th June for throat problems . On examination, an irregular mass on the left base of tongue reaching up to the midline. The consultant sent him for an scans MRI and CT on the 21st, and pre- biopsy testing on 24th..so, like a whirlwind. He has had his panedoscopy. On the consultants letter we received this morning it said my husband has been upgraded onto cancer pathway, there were also  two Macmillan nurses brought in on his appointment.,..so very worried, but, in the letter it did say neck negative for lymph nodes....so, does that mean cancer is not now suspected?

Thank you.

  • Thank you, it's a nightmare, I just couldn't, still can't believe it.....when I heard the Consultant actually say the words.,...it was like a bomb going off, can't remember much about the Consultation tbh. My main concern now is my husbands mental health, how to stop him feeling emotionally lonely, which, happened to my sister....i just don't know what to do.....

    Thinking of you Thursday, sincerely hope you get good news
