Hello

I feel silly posting when people who have been diagnosed are going through a lot more than me and my family but I'm looking for advice as I am really anxious about my dad...

He's been referred to a ENT consultant following trouble swallowing and enlarged lymph nodes - he's had multiple tests - biopsy, MRI, CT scan and is now waiting for the consultant appointment at the end of March but during the first appointment where the doctor organised the tests my parents were given a Macmillan business card with the contact details of a clinical nurse specialist and cancer care coordinator... why would they be given this if it wasn't confirmed it was throat cancer?

Thank you for anyone that can offer any advice to settle my nerves. It's all consuming already - I just want to know so I can start dealing with it.

Thank you!
