Hi just checking if things are making sense for over six months been being treated for extreme sinusitis had every antibiotic they can think of steroid sprays various types and washouts. the Monday before last I saw an ENT consultant he didn’t endoscopy one side as I already knew was completely blocked no polyps but something was pushing against the side from my right cheek. That hurts massively feels like a raging toothache but it’s not. he ordered an urgent CT scan that was done Thursday this week. And today at 4:30 I got a call from the hospital that wants an outpatient appointment with me to discuss the CT result? am I putting two and two together and making 10 or would it be normal that they would call you in so quick to discuss the results or is it possibly as I suspect to take a biopsy?

    Hi Orlando23, 

    I am glad that you managed to see the ENT consultant about this the Monday before last and that they were thorough and ordered an urgent CT scan. Do you know when you might have the outpatient appointment to discuss the CT result? It's difficult to know why you were called in so quick to discuss the results and you can't really read anything into it. I hope that you will find out more soon as this must be a rather worrying time for you. At least things seem to be moving fast which means you should be getting some definite answers soon. 

    While you are waiting - and this can be the most anxious time - I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news.  I hope that you will hear from the experiences of others on the forum who have been through something similar and that they will drop by and share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
