Epiglottis

Hello .

Not sure how I’m feeling at the moment seem to feel numb .

Around 7 weeks ago I started with a cough that turned hoarseness then started chocking.

I went to doctors who referred me to ENT and chest X-ray . My chest X-ray was good but ent found a lump on the epiglottis I have since had a biopsy and waiting results .

Today I received a letter for appointment with my ENT doctor .

Could this just be a cyst ? 

  • Hello Cruella, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results and the ENT appointment. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
