My next appointment with GP is on the 25th of June 

I've been referred to maxillofacial appointment on the 7th July 

The mri scan is being reviewed again 

Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Metastasis to the Hard Palate: An Uncommon Site of Metastasis for a Common Malignancy - PMC 

My symptoms are the same as this

Hi Micchelleandrea and thank you for posting again.

I’m really sorry you are feeling so worried.

It makes sense that reading something like that has scared you.

The article you found is about a very rare case.

It is not something that happens often.

Most people with symptoms like yours do not have this.

Having the same symptoms does not mean you have the same illness.

Many common and less serious conditions can cause similar symptoms.

It’s also important to remember that doctors do not make a diagnosis from symptoms alone.

They look at scans, tests, and your full history to understand what is going on.

If you are worried, the best thing to do is speak to your doctor or nurse.

You can show them the article if it helps, and they can explain what applies to you and what does not.

I'm not sure if you have any support at home. Someone you can talk to and relay your fears to. If not

maybe you could join a support group near you.

I hope you get some reassurance soon

Kind regards

Tina

Im so unwell palate has swollen right up im getting deep bone pain in the roof of my mouth and forearms and hips sweating profusely constipated lethargic no appetite 

I do have support 

Hi Michelleandrea, 

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell and the palate has swollen, you are in great pain and feeling lethargic. As it's the weekend, our nurses won't reply straight away but I would strongly advise you ring 111 for out of hours medical advice. It sounds like this needs looking into especially as your palate is swollen and you are not feeling well so do ring 111 and try and talk to a doctor if you can over the weekend. 

I hope that things improve for you quickly and that you feel better soon. 

Best wishes,

Hello Michelleandrea,

I can see that you are still worried about your symptoms. You have sent many posts about this, so I am concerned that you are not getting the support you need.

You do need to see your GP or hospital doctor about the symptoms you have and the worry they are causing you. They would want to know about them. The nurses here do not work at a hospital or a GP practice, so they are not able to tell you what is causing them. They will not be responding to any more posts about them.

As you seem very anxious about this, it may be that you have already accessed some help with your current mental health. You may also want to contact MIND 0300 123 3393 to talk about the anxiety this is causing you. I hope you can get the support you need soon.

Take care,

Caroline
