    Last year I found a lump in my neck. ENT removed lump and the biopsy came back positive for Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). After the lump came back positve, I went through test, PET scan, CT scans, surgery, where they did a biopsies on the back of my mouth. All test were NEGATIVE could not find the primary site. The radiation doctor still started radiation and chemo treatments with no PRIMARY site. The doctor believed it was in the back of my throat.  Ended up in the hospital for a week and a half, kindey failure,dehydration, blood clot etc do to chemo and radiation. Went for a second option, PET scan, all negitived. They sent me home and will monitor me.  CHEMO AND RADIATION TREATMENTS NO PRIMARY.   Thank you
