Hello

I'm really frightened that I might have throat cancer. Basically I had really severe tonsillitus twice back at the end of October and I was on antibiotics for ages. Mid November, I noticed my one tonsil still hadn't swelled back down and I also had two lymph nodes up on one side of my neck. I went to my doctor and I was tested for glandular fever and had CBC done and both came back clear. I went back to my doctor recently as I had a lymph node on the otherside of my neck go up and I had more bloods done and was told if they came back clear I would need a biopsy. My bloods came back fine and so I'm waiting on a referal but with all this coronavirus going around I'm really scared I won't be seen. I'm so anxious that I have a throat cancer and from what I've found online it would be stage 4 which is pretty much a one way street.

I'm only 19, I've never smoked, I don't drink and I'm absolutely terrified. What also didn;t help was the receptionist at the doctors told me the biopsy I was having was for a lump in my throat but the doctor didn't say he found a lump, so like what is that? I just feel like crying. I'm so scared.

I obviously appreciate that no one on here are doctors but if anyone could give me any help or reassurance I would be really grateful
