Hi. Just had a cancerous tumor removed from under my right jaw the size of a golf ball. Undertermined what kind of cancer yet as the biopsy from first needle biop was said to be squamous cell and there is no other part of my body with any cancer. I meet with radiology interview tomorrow but will not know what kind of treatment yet due to question about what specific cancer this is. Any help?

 

Thanks

    hi there

    welcome to the forum and i hope you are recovering well from your recent opperation

    I am now 2.5 year post treatment for secondary cancer of a neck lymph node (no primary found) and doing well.

    Not that you will follow the same route, you will have to update us on that, but people who i attended treatment with and spoken to on this site sometimes have a neck dessection (whipping out the lymph nodes around the neck) followed by chemo and sometime radio therapy

    As i said not all follow this route, as some just have the opp and its done with

    So how are you doing and let us know the next steps, if any for you

    If you have any questions meantime, shout
