Hi sorry new to this I'm just wondering I'm 30 y/o I've been having stomach problems associated with constant heartburn discomfort etc but the past few weeks my throat is not digesting my food properly it's like the food is getting stuck in my throat and I feel like there's always something stuck there I've been going out of my mind worrying and was booked in for a gastroscopy which was cancelled due to COVID which would have gave me some answers I've been dropping weight from 2 weeks ago which never happened me before and Im freaking out that it's throat cancer or something sinister it's been a constant a while and last time I got my bloods back in December they were normal and they won't do them again I just feel so helpless and constantly worrying it's something more than just leaving it 

  • Hi Kelly, 

    I was just reading your post. I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been contending with and that your gastroscopy was cancelled due to covid. That must have been very frustrating but I hope it's been re-scheduled and that you won't have to wait too much longer to have it done.

    If your symptoms get worse whilst you're waiting, do be sure to let your GP know. Our team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 Monday - Friday if you'd like to discuss your situation with them as well.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and advice to you soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you and hope everything turns out o.k.

    Kind regards,
