Ear cancer - just found out I have a tumour in my ear. Don't know if it's cancerous yet but I'm terrified to find out. I'm only 20 years old

Went to the ent today and just found out I have a tumour in my ear. To be honest I don’t know whether it’s cancerous or not but I’m terrified to find out. My family thinks of the worst outcome which safe to say it’s not the best thing to hear about but then again coming to reality that It might actually be cancerous. I’m 20 year old guy but I just don’t know how to cope with these feelings, sometimes I just wanna burst out crying but I’m holding it in.

  • Your more than welcome. Cancer is a head f**k in my opinion, the waiting is the worst part as your brain goes into overdrive. My advice is stay of Dr Google and try to keep busy with stuff you enjoy, have a good cry if you need to. I know its easy for me to say all that as im out the other side. The cancer i had was different to your potential one so I can't claim to know anything about it. Try to think positive like you said you don't know if its cancer yet but if it is you will cope because you have to. Sending hugs. Xx
