Hello @lizfuller and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I appreciate you sharing your story of finding the point of origin of your cancer. It sounds like your doctor was very dedicated to the task of finding this unknown primary.

What type of symptoms led to this search? How long was it before the testing found the lung cancer?

I lost my voice, there were nodes on my thyroid and vocal nerve, so biopsies and ultrasounds and then CT/PET and surgery was about 6 months, then colonoscopy and endoscopy at about 8 months after 1st biopsy, radiation and then post radiation scans id say about a year from the 1st signs of the neck cancer when I presented with a few small nodes in lungs and then had a bronchoscopy to get a lung biopsy which at that point the oncologist went to town testing it, sent to Tempus.
