Throat issues

Hi, 

2 years ago I got a lump on the side of my mouth near my tonsils. Went to the doctors, put me on anti biotics. This lump didn't go. Got bigger. Fast forward to last month. I couldn't eat, drink or talk. It has swollen. Went to hosoital. They tried draining it 4 times. Nothing came out. Put me on a drip for 4 days. And discharged me. It came back, same thing. Went back to hospital. First they said it was quinsy, then cellulitus. I've been on 4 lots of anti biotics, I'm type 1 diabetic so blood sugars go crazy on these meds. The lump is still there. Hasn't gone down. I demanded an MRI, as I'm worried and I feel that because I'm young doctors aren't listening. I'm waiting for the results. But the past 3 days I'm very dizzy, very fatigue. Has anyone got any ideas what this could be please?

  • Hi Bobby-lou,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling with this for a while.

    Unfortunately it's difficult for anyone here to advise on what this could be - only your doctor and the medical team can do this, usually after any necessary tests. You mention that you are waiting for results, so I hope that it's not long for you to wait to get these.

    Also do give your doctor a call if you're struggling with symptoms in the meantime and feel you need further support.

    Wishing you all the best,
