Hi, I was coping ok. My back story is that I suddenly has difficulty swallowing, hoarse voice, breathing issues and a lump in the front of my neck. I saw my gp after a bad bleed in my throat and she referred me under the two week referral system. I had a camera down my throat and the discovered issues in my throat but that weren’t cancerous. Then they said my lump was worrying. So they sent me for an ultrasound scan. This came back and they said I needed a biopsy. I had that two weeks ago. I was told it would be less than two weeks for the results. I feel like my life is on hold waiting. I just need to know. I feel like I darent book holidays etc. I’ve managed to hide it from my youngest child but my middle child worked it out, right in the middle of his GCSEs! So I feel really guilty that I hid it and that I may have messed up his exams. My oldest has known from the start. I just don’t know how to deal with waiting. Each night I’m struggling to sleep and it’s getting worse each night. How long does it normally take? Can I ask someone and if so who? I don’t even know who my consultants are because it was all done in a rush! One night they’d call and I’d be there a few days later. Not once did they write down who I should go to if I had questions?
