Hi Sammie and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I'm really sorry to hear your dad has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and that it's in the lymph glands on his neck as well.
This must be a very difficult time for you both but I'm glad you decided to reach out to us Sammie as so many of our members will know what you're going through and I'm sure those who have had operations for this diagnosis will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.
You can also find out about the surgery your dad will be having on our website but if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call next week on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.
We're sending you all our support Sammie, and wishing you dad all the best with his operations when the time comes.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
