So... I found out last night that my Dad (57) has been diagnosed with cancer.
(I found out a few weeks ago that he's got this lump on his neck that's been there for around 18 months and he's done NOTHING about it. Part of me is really angry/disappointed - especially given my Mum knew and didn't make him go to the doctor. I wish she'd told me and I would have got him to go... 18 ******* months.)
The lump on his neck is apparently a lymph node - 5cm by 5cm so, it's now quite visible. He's been to an ENT and they found nothing of interest. He has NO symptoms, no weight loss, no night sweats - nothing except for the lump on his neck.
The CT and MRI have also shown... nothing. There's a small lump on one of the adrenal glands, but not really sure if that's it s as above... no symptoms whatsoever.
He had some prostate issues a few years ago but his levels are all fine so I have no idea what to think.
The doctor who informed him seemed surprised by all of the above. He's got to have another full body MRI, I'd guess in the next two weeks but...
I don't know what to think. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?
I'm lost. :(
