Hi all, 

having to write this post as My mental health is struggling really bad. A couple of weeks ago I had another flare up of a sore throat, I've had a lump where my glands are on the right side of my throat under my jaw for years. The gp felt this and immediately sent me to A&E. ENT consultant has put me on a two week pathway. I have severe anxiety and panic attacks as it is and now I'm a mess worrying sick I've got cancer. 
 

i hve my first consultant apt on Friday. I'm having constant hot sweats which I know can be a warning sign for cancer. I feel like nobody understands how I feel and I am really struggling. 
 

im a single parent to two boys and I'm petrified I'm going to die.

    Hello,

     

    I am going to my first ENT consultation on Friday, I have a lump on the left side of my neck aswell as over a year of a change in bowel habbits and fatigue. I have a 2 yr old and 3 yr old and can't stop thinking about how I'm going to leave them and how awful it will be for them. I am so sad and can't stop crying. The anxiety is terrible and although, I have no help at the moment, I guess I just wanted to let you know that I am in a similar boat and am here for you if you need to talk.
