Hi everyone, I had a throat biopsy done under general on Friday 5th.Its awful waiting on results.

My symptoms have been approx 7 weeks, hoarse voice, lump on right, hard to swallow sometimes choking and coughing. 

I'm so nervous consultant said about 2 weeks for results.

  • Hi Sal,

    It's certainly never easy waiting for results so I can understand how you feel. Some people say it helps to keep busy and to try to keep your mind off things while waiting.

    I hope it's not too much longer to wait for you - and do use this forum as much as is helpful for you at any point.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Hi Sally, 

     

    I wonder I f you've had the results yet? I had a couple of biopsies this Friday just gone, 17th/07 - and I'm now waiting for the results. My symptoms were sore and dry  throat that went on for 2-3 months, difficulty swallowing, hoarse or weak voice,  asymmetrical tonsils - turned out there was a cyst there, and an asymmetry at he base of the tongue.

     

    Now in post-biopsy time - my throat seems to be hurting more, not sure if this is due to the procedure itself or not.

    Did you ever find out what this is? your symptoms sound very much like mine.

    Yes, Anonamin - it was all clear. 
    It was such a total relief- I was convinced there was malignancy but was wrong. Wish you all the best & I do hope you are no where near as worried as I was.

    Wow im so happy for you! I'm only 25 :( i hope everything is okay. Did you ever find out the root of your symptoms?

    No - have no idea what caused the symptoms. Some of them got better - like I now have no difficulty swallowing and my voice is not hoarse anymore. I think some of my symptoms were anxiety. I still have dry throat though which is very annoying. 
     

    Yes, you are very young so it's likely things will be just fine for you. I f you are worried about your symptoms do write here (if you haven't done that already)- there are some experienced and supportive people around.
