Stressed

Hi, never posted before but I'm stressing myself out, so here goes.......for 4wks I've had a bad bacterial throat infection which after 3 lots of antibiotics hasnt cleared, I've got a visable lump in my throat (right side) which docs are clueless as to what it is, its like an extra flap of skin.....they say its definitely not a tonsil as it's to far back so now I'm being sent to ENT to have it looked at properly, my throat is so dry I can barely swallow, my tongue is a brownish fuzzy colour, lymph nodes arent inlarged & I'm freaking out it's the big C......I had an MRI about 6mths ago if it was that would it have shown up?? Also had full bloods done which showed i was anemic.......anxiety it through the roof about these skin flap lump HELP!!!

    Thank you for posting.  I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you don’t feel that your problems are being diagnosed properly.  Unfortunately, we cannot help you get a diagnosis.  Only a doctor can diagnose you.  If you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor you may want to consider getting a second opinion you can find out more about this here.  I hope you find the reassurance you need.
