Hi,

I'm looking for some real life experience to try and understand what possibilities my husband is facing.

So the story

About 6 months ago my husband went to doctors for sore throat, 8 weeks later and 3 lots or antibiotics he was referred to ent. 

Ent initial investigation thought it was acid reflux, however after a cause of treatment the consultant ordered a ct scan. We had the scan and appointment with consultant, who advised that the scan identified a swollen area in the throat and wanted to do a biopsy.

We now have to wait another 3 weeks for a biopsy and a further 2 weeks for an appointment for the result.

I am going mad with worry, he is only 42 and we have two young girls. Having lost both my parents to cancer, I'm generally thinking the worse.

The consultant has said he doesnt think its anything scary but has not given us any other inclination of what it could be.

What I'm struggling to understand, is how much would have been able to tell from ct scan.

I also have used the dreaded google and can't find any other possible explanations.

Just wondering if there are people with similar stories  (good and bad)

Thanks
