Hello I am new to this forum but feel that I needed to look for a little advice. I have myself suffered with cervical cancer stage 2 and have recovered with no problems at all. The last few months my partner has had this yellow filled growth near his tonsils which contain clear blood vessels(not sure if this is significant or not) I took him to doctors last week who said he had pharyngitis and was given anti biotechs but she also did a referral to the ent specialist due to the growth in the throat. We asked whether it could be cancer and she advised it didn't look that sinister but she obviously couldn't say definitively either way. Any way my partner does suffer with persistant soar throats, tonsillitis and also has been experiencing over the last six months a little croak in the throat and the need to clear his throat regularly. We also noticed last night a cobble stone texture to the side of his throat that the growth is on. His referral came through today for next Monday (I feel this is quite quick all in all 2 weeks since his doctor appointment with the local gp) he is 31 so not in the (common age bracket for throat cancer) but he is showing symptoms (I know bad dr Google) just looking for a little advice of how quick these referrals actually are and whether anyone has similar symptoms and their outcome. Just to note he is a smoker, doesn't drink but I had a positive hpv on my cancer screening when being diagnosed with cervical cancer. Thank you in advance
