Oh Allan
i am going to put emotion aside here and be a factual.The facts are they cannot know if this tumour is related to your throat until they can biopsy the tissue and identify what type it is. It is possible it is a secondary from the throat or is their a possibility your first tumour wasn't a primary?

Next why the hell do you have to wait a few weeks? Surely this is urgent and the scan needs doing ASAP.Oh shit Allan!!!!

I can't speak for any one else but i dont see any reason for you to leave this forum as you will always be an oral cancer patient/survivor so i for one hope you will stay with us and let us know as soon as you have any news.

all my love to you and debs
