Sore throat one side with ear pain for 2 months

Please please help me, I am so worried I can't function properly. I have had a endoscopy which didn't show anything abnormal and now I am waiting for mri results. Has anyone had the same symptoms and it wasn't cancer? Everything seems to point towards it being that and I can't think of anything else. 

  • Hello hannah1988, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. It's reassuring news that your endoscopy didn't show anything abnormal and I hope you won't have to wait too long for your MRI results. 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 as there are so many other things it could be other than cancer. 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 as this will always bring up the worst and make you worry often unnecessarily. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. Waiting for results can be really stressful and I thought I would share you this information to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before or had similar symptoms 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,
