Scared it could be throat cancer of somekind

I am so scared that I could have throat cancer. I have had a cough what started out to be quite chesty but now it is dry and I only really cough a few times a day now. but it has been there for about 4 months. I have got tinnitus and my ears are cracking all the time. Been backwards and forwards back to doctors who have prescribed anti biotechs and a nasal decongestant cos I have slightly nasal congestion. After months of going to see doctors one has said they are going to send me to a ENT specialist so scared never realised I had anxiety until now, even took myself to hospital and had a ecg done because of chest pains. Any advise would be good. Thankyou

  • Welcome to the forum Nicki although I'm sorry for the reason you're posting.

    I'm glad you've been referred but I can understand why you may be feeling scared. I think this is a natural reaction and one that many of our members would have felt whilst waiting for their referrals so I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice. 

    In the meantime I just wanted to wish you good luck and let you know we'll be thinking of you when you go for your appointment.

    Fingers crossed everything turns out to be o.k.

    Kind regards,
