Hi My hubby went to GP a year ago as he could feel a lump in his neck. She couldn't feel it and Sent him for blood tests which she said were ok. He had to see a plastic surgeon about something else and he could feel it and referred him for an ultrasound. They said it was an inflamed saliva gland and to have another scan in about 3 months. He did this and fine needle aspiration and they said there and then it was cancer and needed the whole gland out. We were devastated as he has had neuroendocrine cancer in small bowel in the past and a gist removed from stomach. Then he phoned Secretary to see when he would have the operation. She said it was benign. Then he saw consultant who said was too bloody and wouldn't know until was removed. He now goes in on Thursday dreading it been cancer as it it is will be 3rd lot in 5 years.
