Hello Wolfy,

I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your PET scan. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results and having to go through all these tests. 

I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

Best wishes,

Hi 

I've just seen my consultant after they had there M T D meeting and he as informed me i now need to have a pet scan and another biopsy 

The first biopsy as explained came back with suspicious cells ( what are suspicious cells? Does it mean cancer?)

He did explain that he needed to get a second biopsy from a different part of the growth (would this make a difference ?)

From me seeing him on Thursday I've already been booked in for my pet scan Tuesday and second biopsy on Thursday i know this is fast but do i need to be worried on how quick they've booked me in (not complaining) really anxious 

The growth in my throat sitting just behind my voice box is the size of a two pence piece and my swallowing is sometimes difficult can anybody relate to this and give me some words of hope

Thankyou
