MRI Scan

Hi there, I recently had a superficial parotidectomy in July 2019 which turned out to be acinic cell carcinoma. No radiotherapy was recommended. I went to my follow up appointment before Christmas and they said for my reassurance let's do an mri. I recently had this and it's has show some highlighted areas in that region. My surgeon has a MDT meeting and they are all saying don't act on anything now and do another scan in 4 months. Can other things show on mri other than tumours. I'm so scared it's there again despite being told all positive things previously. I don't know what to do for the next 4 months. Thanks Tracey

  • Hello Tracey89,

    I'm sorry that you don't feel reassured by your surgeon. It may seem like a long time, but they are making their best recommendation for you. It might be good to talk about your worries with the people close to you. We also have a team of nurses who are available to speak on the freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
