Endoscopy and ct scan

Hi there I would just like some advice really. Started about 7+ months ago now I had a problem with my throat i felt it hard to swallow and like there was a lump in my throat, I went docs and they said I had to wait for ENT appointment but to this day still waiting. I went back doctors about 4 months after and he put me on a 2 week cancer referral pathway as I've also lost weight I had an endoscopy and had 6 biopcies taken 4 from one area and two from the other (throat) they noticed I had gastritis so taking tablets for that now which I didn't even know I had.i went for a ct scan a week later from the pelvis upwards but just waiting on all results now, I did have a fir test and that come back normal. I just wanna know if I need to be worried and why they took biopcies 

Thank you le

 

  • Welcome to the forum Lee although I'm sorry about the anxious wait you're having for your results.

    I hope this information we have about the procedure will help clear things up but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    Many of our members have been in a similar position as well so you are not alone and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.
