Hi, 

I went to the doctors on 15/10 with a dry throat and 2 lumps on my anus. Have since seen consultant with lumps - he examined me - said they were haemorrhoids and couldn’t find any internal lumps but has referred me for a camera to be sure. With my throat, the dr saw a white patch on my tonsil. Sent off a swab which was normal so booked another drs appointment. She was unable to examine fully due to my string gag reflex and phobia of choking, so referred me on 2 week cancer pathway to ENT and I have a consultation on 13/11. I have looked online and am convinced I have tonsil cancer and am so anxious I’m not eating or sleeping properly. I don’t want my husband to know how worried I am but while he is at work I worry all day (I’m retired now) even when I’m with other people. Would be grateful for any thoughts on managing the wait better.
