Help please biopsy needed very worried

Hi. I have had a sore throat and lump in throat feeling for a few weeks. I had a nasoendoscopy today and the consultant said he saw something in my throat above the voice box and has said I need an MRI and panandoscopy. I asked whether it could be cancer or something else but he said the biopsy would give the answer. He mentioned it could be something (possibly lymph ? I'm not sure what he said and google doesn't help :( ) in throat that hasn't healed after an infection. I had a bad cold in Nov. He also said I have bad acid reflux (even on omeprazole). Can anyone guide me on what it could be and the likelihood of being cancer. I am so worried. 

Thankyou for your time.

  • Hi Robbie20,

    I'm sorry to read about your worries. Unfortunately no-one here will be able to advise on what this could be - it's only the doctor or medical team that can do this, after they've done any necessary tests.

    Try to avoid Googling things as this is rarely helpful and often provides incorrect or irrelevant information.

    Some people say it helps to keep busy and distracted while waiting for results or for further information.

    I hope it's not too much longer for you to wait to find out more.

    Wishing you all the best,
