Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could please give me some advice? I've had ear problems for months now and am under a physiotherapist, who suggested I needed a referral to ENT.

I had my GP appointment yesterday, in-person and the Doctor agreed. What she didn't tell me at the time was it's under an urgent 2WW referral pathway, so I feel a bit blind-sided and nervous.

On the referral form the Doctor ticked the two boxes which said "Patient knows about the possibility of cancer" and "Patient is aware they need to be available over the next 2 weeks". Both of these things are untrue. I'm actually supposed to be going to Glastonbury next week, but this just feels as if it's hanging over me.I was wondering if anyone had any advice? Should I still go and ask them to re-arrange the appointment if it clashes?

I was also wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect at the hospital in terms of tests. I know ear cancer is incredibly rare, so what type of tests would they be likely to do?

Thanks so much,
Sophie
