urgent ENT referral

Hello,

 

i've been referred this morning for an urgent ENT appointment following a month of sinusitis that hasn't shifted with treatment. I have swollen lymph nodes under my arm and in my neck, a constant low grade fever, have been experiencing night sweats and am totally exhausted. What should I epxect from my first appointment?

thanks in advance

Charlotte

  • Try not to worry in advance if you can. I worrird terribly and suffered more than I needed to. My mri results were inconclusive as to whether the lumps were benign or not so I had a biopsy in hospital as day case.  The surgeon told me on the day that she didn't think it had looked worrying but she'd write once biopsy finished. I heard nothing for weeks so finally rang them to find a letter had been sent weeks ago saying nothing sinister found!   So after 3 months of worry I was ok! 
    I would say that don't wait like I did if you don't hear from hospital or doctor.  If I'd ring the surgeons secretary earlier I would have saved myself weeks of stress. 
     

    I wish you the best with what you're starting to go through and hope you get seen quickly.
