Anyone have cancer with unknown primary?

Thank you for your response. I live in Melbourne Australia so unfortunately that doesn’t help me.
Luckily we do have good medical facilities here but at the same time I do feel like every scan every test every appointment just makes it all a slow process.

My dad has seen one specialist and has organised another via a friend who has also been going thru cancer recently which gives him a bit more trust I think.

Do you have any questions or advice you recommend he mentions on his visit?

Thank you and will keep you up to date with progress. It definitely helps me feel a bit better discussing on here.

Hello @mattydlb

It looks like @dkoontz has offered you some good information based on his personal experience.

From your post, it appears that your dad will be seeing another doctor. Has this appointment been scheduled? If so, you might take the time to review all of his previous test results (both scans, blood tests and biopsies). If you notice anything outside of the range listed as normal, you might want to discuss this with the new doctor.

Figuring out where an unknown primary is located can be quite a mystery and may take a lot of detective work on the part of you and the medical team who is treating your dad.

Will you let me know if you have any other questions?
