Utterly confused and scared

Long story short 

 

neck excisional biopsy and pet scan ( subclaviculr lymph nodes pet scan showed not much elseJ

On Monday I was told that the haematology pathology showed Sternberg reed cells indicating lymphoma, hodgkins. They were waiting for markers from pathology on the other half 


today I had to go back and was told 

squamous cell carcinoma metastasis

 

All I have is a series of letters and numbers   CK7+,  p40 +, ck20 -, p16. +, TTFI (-) EBER(-)

 

they say I have a tumor in my neck and in the thoracic area, but not the lungs.  Possible primary source elsewhere. 
 

in two days the diagnosis has gone from hodgkins to god knows what.... I have been referred to gyny next week and they will have a cancer meeting on Wednesday and phone me with a plan... is this normal. I'm so scared 

  • Replying with no advice on your situation but wanted to say I really hope it all goes ok for you! I'm in a similar-ish boat, positive cancer blood test and waiting ultrasound results which I'm getting Friday! I had my ultrasound on Friday afternoon and the doctors messaged me Monday morning with a booking with my doctor!  The fear is just awful! I think Iv been through every emotion this week! Hope you're ok xx
