Hi there. I have had the same thing for 6 months now.  All started from a normal cold and then a chest infection.

Had a few CBCs and all come back clear, as did infection markers.

They thought it was silent reflux and had 5 weeks of Omeprazole which did nothing.

Had the camera down throat at ENT and he said no cancer but had swollen lymph nodes and should be ok in a few weeks. This was June and it's still bad now.

Other doctors thought it was Glandular Fever, but 2 blood tests didn't confirm it. Was not strep either.

Now they think it could be my thyroid (been on Levo for 11 years now).

Got a throat ultrasound in a couple of weeks and done nothing but cry and cry for months as convinced I have cancer.  

I so hope everyone on this thread is ok now and found out what they have.

Hi debsy, how are you now? 

Hi Ginny

Was following this thread and wondered how you got on, hope you have managed to get on the treatment pathway and well on your way to recovery and that covid didnt get in the way.  

Ive had a sore throat for a while but on and off, then overnight a huge lymph gland came up on my neck, just had it biospied and they said it didnt look good, hoping histopathology will be back by Thursday.

Wishing you all the best

Wonder how you got on with the biopsy? Hope all is well. 

Sorry to say my results came back as tonsil cancer but HPV +, spread to my lymph nodes, im due to start chemoradiation on 6 July, so hopefully will be cancer free by October. The ENT doctors seem very hopeful

Sorry to hear this Pamela - but it is positive that you now what it is and you are taking steps to sort it all out. 
 

I had sore, dry throat for a long time and a recent MRI showed a slight asymmetry at the base of the tongue. I need to self isolate for 2 wks, then take a coronavirus test and possibly about 13 July I'll have a biopsy. Then I have to wait up to 10 days for the results.  Everything is so starched out - the waiting and the not knowing is really stressing me out. 
 

Glad to see you are starting treatment quite promptly - do keep in touch here, all the very best. 

Thank you, I know the waiting game is the worst thing, once you know its slightly easier, certainly in terms of getting some sleep.

All the best for your biopsy, I hope its all clear xx

Hi Nataly_17

I am having the same problems as others here. A chronic deep throat rawness since Dec 19. and bloody nasal mucous since Oct19 and ear problems. my doctor has sent me to ENT referral and the first time no reply. she sent again in march and had a telephone consultation and I got dismissed. saying really we should put a camera down to look but that would not be good for us as we would have to gown up and not good for you. said try some medicine if no better return to the doctor and get a referral to get a camera down. well, the doctor did that 3 weeks ago. Monday 22nd June the doctors rang me with apt for today Monday 29th June to get a camera down and biopsy to check nothing naughty is going on. then Friday 26th June the hospital rang and said the clinic was cancelled and that someone would ring today with another apt. so this morning they rang and said as it is a new referral that the doctors had done it wrong and that I would have to have a telephone referral again as I did on 28th April and not an apt. I feel I am getting the runaround. my problem is no better than when it started and all they are doing is avoiding apts and so not to put a camera down. this was meant to be an urgent referral. and i feel the hospital is hiding from patients.

Hi Pamela, 

sorry to hear about your results but it does seem good to have the situation in hand and to work towards being cancer free in due time. 

I'm currently awaiting the results of my throat biopsies & trying to stay relatively calm. 

Do wish you all the very best. 

Keep us updated Pamela x 

Just got back from hospital, they said the ct scan showed abnormalities in my lymph glands but I didn't have the contrast dye so couldn't see clearly. so I had a camera up my nose and blood tests done and I have been booked an emergency ultrasound. The doctor said it could be cancer so I've just got to wait for the ultrasound now 

Hello Smiles,

Did you have a severe persistant cough as well?

I do hope that you have had the ultrasound with positive results, 

how are you?
