Hi everyone, my name is Sarah. 

In the past 9 months I've lost 9.5 stones (I was very overweight) with just a lack of appetite. I discovered a hard lump on my neck about 5 months ago alongside becoming fatigued, having night sweats, severe itching, daily migraines, daily nausea and vomiting, feeling too full to eat, a dry cough, hearing loss in one ear and difficulty swallowing. I am too tired to do much other than  sit and sleep.

I was reluctant to go to my GP as my mum passed away from pancreatic cancer last year and I didn't want to go to the doctors because I didnt want to make a big deal out of my symptoms after my mum had suffered so much.

Anyway, 10 days ago I decided that I had to go and see a GP. She felt the lump in my neck and then told me she had felt more of them. She said that I have thrush all down the back of my throat and that she recorded that I had lost a further 10kg since I was last weighed at hospital 2 months ago. She listened to my chest and said she could hear "something" on my left lung so sent me for a chest x ray the same day.

She also referred me for the 2 week wait service to the Head and Neck clinic - my appointment is tomorrow afternoon. She put on my letter that she found a neck mass, salivary mass and nasal blockage.

I am very anxious and scared about tomorrow. I wondered if anyone had any advice on what to expect at the clinic? 

I'm 20 years old and I was planning on starting university this year, but my health is going further and further downhill and I don't know what to expect.

Does anyone know what to expect at the clinic tomorrow? 

Any advice is much appreciated. Sorry if this post isn't suitable, I just don't want to upset my boyfriend and dad by talking about how I feel xx
