Anyone have cancer with unknown primary?

Hello,
My husband was just diagnosed with CUP. We are going to Wellstar Augusta University Cancer Center. This all started in January, Firestone the scans, then the painful removal of tonsils ( no cancer found in tonsils. Now the tumor team is suggesting “supramaomohyoid neck dissection for definitive pathology.Will send NavDX”.
We asked for clarification in laymen’s terms and are still waiting.
On a positive note, they say it is not in lymph nodes. We are considering moving to Jacksonville FL. in order to be treated at the Mayo Clinic. This would also put us much closer to children and grandkids in Tampa.
Any input would help.

@maryannecrawford, getting a cancer diagnosis upends one's world. Hearing the diagnosis of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) adds to the anxiety. I hope that you've received a laymen's version of the diagnosis in the meantime.

Have you learned anything further? DId you submit a request for a second opinion at Mayo Clinic? How are YOU doing?
