Hi everyone,

My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer Unknown primary, the cancer has been confirmed in his stomach lymphnode and they also think it is in some of his other lymphnodes following a PET scan. They want to treat with Chemotherapy but unfortunately he is recovering from a hepatitis E infection so his liver is not well enough yet. I don't know much about cancer of unknown primary, and his doctors have not discussed staging or prognosis.

Its hard knowing how to feel at the moment as we are in a watching and waiting situation to see how the cancer progresses. Does anyone know anything about CUP? Or reasoning behind why they can't find the primary? I am trying to stay positive but it's hard when the doctors aren't acting at the moment due to concerns with the liver.
