Hi, 

Just looking to see if any one on here as experienced the same symptoms as my dad ( I am driving myself mad with google).

He has suffered from Acid reflux for as long as I can remember and had a stomach ulcer many years ago too. Around 6 weeks ago he began feeling like food was getting stuck in his throat. A few days later he noticed a lump on the left side of his neck above his collar bone. He had an appointment with his GP who has referred him to ENT department ( we have another week until his appointment).

Since his GP appointment the difficulty swallowing has gotten worse. He says he feels like there is also a dull ache in his stomach and he burps a lot after eating. He also seems to be having the odd nap which isn't like him and feeling cold sometimes. 

I think I have come to terms with the fact we probably will have a cancer diagnosis but I'm just looking to see if anyone else has had similar symptoms?

If anyone could also explain what happened at their first ENT appointment that would be helpful. We have heard from others it might just be a chat with a doctor. We were really hoping there would be some sort of investigation of the throat or the lump as the 5 week wait for the appointment has be agonising.
