Hello, bump on uluva

I'm new here because I'm so worried about finding a round pink flesh coloured bump on my uluva at the back of my throat. I've seen my doctor who sent me to the hospital yesterday to have a blood tes done. I've got to go the the hospital on the 10th of May to have a biopsy on my uluva. Scary stuff is life lately. I'm 58 years old and haven't smoked or drank alcohol for at least 10 years or more, een keeping fit, but it's to little to late, sorry I'm thinking the worst. Last year I was diagnosed with having solar keratosis on top of ear and two patches on head, using solerase gel seem to be earing up. I hope this other thing that's going on is just nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed

  • Welcome to the forum Rickstar although I'm sorry to hear about the lump you've found.

    I know this must be very worrying, but try not to jump to any conclusions or think the worst if you can. Much easier said than done I know, but I hope this advice we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help keep your anxiety at bay until you know more.

    So many of our members know how scary this time can be, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until you receive some support and advice.

    We're thinking of you Rickstar and wishing you all the best with your biopsy next week.

    Kind regards,
