Throat cancer scare

So I've been ill for quite some time , I have posted in this group before, I've been having lots of problems with dizziness and just generally feeling unwell , my anxiety is through the roof too which doesn't help. 
my throat always feels as though I'm being strangled on a daily basis, my throat is sore and I have had a lump in the back of my throat for the past 5 months but I didn't pay attention to it as I just thought it was an ulcer, i have also lost 2.5st since Jan - I went to the GP yesterday and he had a look he asked me about my symptoms and asked me how long I've had the bump in my throat - within 10mins he has scheduled an emergency app with the ENT doctors in hospital - he won't tell me anymore other than he can't diagnose me because it's not his specialty- I understand this but now I'm scared out of my mind has anyone had the same thing ? 
 

  • Severe anxiety causes a lump in throat. Your GPis just doing his job and getting it checked out. Try not to worry.

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    We just wanted to reply to your post to say that we are sorry that you have been having these problems, it must be quite a worrying time.

    Nobody other than your doctor will be able to say whether there is anything the matter. But, I appreciate it is still very upsetting to have this hanging over you and so I understand why you've been online for information. Unfortunately, anything that other people on here are going through, is going to be individual to them and google isn't a doctor who can properly assess you and give you answers.

    Waiting for appointments or results is always a difficult time, and the only thing that can help is trying to keep your mind distracted so that time hopefully time goes quicker until you hear more.

    Take care, and hopefully you will get some information soon.

    Sarah.
