my dad has just been back for 12 mnth check after a scc removed from lip..hes had a swelling around the chin area where alot of reconstruction went on,hes been concerned for few weeks now and we all thought it was scar tissue as his 6 mnth check was fine..after a cat scan they came back with a diagnosis ... a tumour that is wrapped round his voice box lymph nodes and tongue organs,and they doubt its operable..and told us to prepare for the worse.from him getting first scan results yesterday hes been sent for pet scan today more tomorrow and then results again tuesday..what the and how the did this happen within a check up 6 months ago and now..please has anyone been or had close to this diagnosis, im unsure of the outcome and scared to death of it...is there a chance of survival with out an operation if it does turn out to be the case..other than slight high blood pressure hes fit as a fiddle at 67
