Soft pallet throat cancer

We have been given the worse news about a family member with who has throat cancer . The large tumour is on the soft pallet and we are waiting for a pep scan . Is anyone able to comment on their experiences of this type of cancer? What is consider large in terms of tumour size ?

  • Welcome to the forum Barb although I am sorry to read a member of your family has been diagnosed with throat cancer.

    We do have two members [@paulaw68]‍ and [@LynneM]‍ that have discovered their palates have been affected by their cancer diagnosis - slightly different to your family member's - and now that I've mentioned them in this post they will hopefully pop by to say hello and share their experiences with you.

    To find other discussions about this type of cancer just type some keywords e.g. throat cancer in to the 'search forum' option above.

    I hope this helps Barb and that the wait for the pep scan isn't too much longer.

    Kind regards,

  • Good morning barb, I just wanted to see how your journey went, I wAs originally diagnosed 2 weeks ago with tonsil cancer, then had a panendoscopy where they also found it in my soft pallett, have been told they now can't operate, waiting to see the team next week to discuss treatment plan 

  • Hi Angelspain, 

    I noticed you were just trying to get in touch Barb. Unforunately Barb hasn't returned to the forum since making that post back in 2018 so there is a chance you may not hear back from her.

    I really do hope she will return to share her experiences with you but just in case she doesn't it may be worth having another look through the forum to see if there are some more recent discussions about this within the community.

    Wishing you all the best with your team meeting next week.

    Kind regards,
