Waiting for results following endoscopy

Hope this is the right place to post, sorry if its not. 

Long story short I was referred to ENT, urgent referral. Had endoscopy at the appointment, findings were as follows as stated in the letter Ive received:

Fullness of the right upper neck 

Asymmetry at the back of tonsils and tongue 

Obliteration of the right glossotonsillar sulcus (I have no idea what that means):confused::confused:

Right sided neck tenderness and right ear pain (ear was fine inside)

Two days later on a Sunday I was having an MRI and I am now waiting on an ultrasound plus or minis biopsy for evaluation of neck and endoscopy findings.

I don't know what to think. Google is a person's worst nightmare in these situations. 

 

 

  • Hi Newfinn2702,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sure this must be a bit of an unsettling time and I know the waiting is never easy. I hope that it won't be much longer for you to wait for your remaining tests and the results following these.

    Do try to avoid Googling things to do with this if you can - the information will often not be relevant and it only tends to increase worries.

    Keep yourself busy if you can while you wait, and take things a day at a time. As I say, I hope you get all the information you need soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
