I'm not sure, I've had my own experience with globus and it is absolutely horrendous because it genuinely feels like you've got a tumour in your neck/throat. Basically it is involuntary spasms of the throat/neck. I had it for a months and still get a tight neck occasionally now. It is brought on my stress and it's very much real and not your imagination. It's awful that anxiety can actually effect you physically, although saying this it's always good to get things checked out :)
Hi Laura,firstly your doing the right thing ,getting it checked out by someone who knows if there is a problem,Or not,!. a lot of times some problems are not cancer related,there are plenty of Professional people out there that can give you the CORRECT advice,please be positive if your told to do things by these professionals take it.im post 26 years throat cancer and a good example of,Check It Out Early.!!!.and you can have a near normal way of life after treatment (if needed).
I realise that you are not asking the nurse team a question but because you posted here in the Ask the Nurses area I just wanted to let you know that if you need any information or support that you are welcome to contact us.
You may also find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
