Worried about MRI and Nasendoscopy

Hi Everyone, 

 

I`m new here. I`m very very stressed after my ENT phone consultation. I`ve been strugling with sore throat and ear pain for few weeks already and it`s mostly on one side, but sometimes I feel pain on the other ear too. The pain disapear when I swallow food or drink. I have it every day, but not all the time - it comes and goes. The doctor I spoke with said I need to deffinetly come and see him for nasendoscopy next week and he wants me to do MRI of my neck/throat beforehand. When I type MRI and nasendoscopy on google all I see is Cancer diagnosis. I`m completely out of my mind right now especially my grandad died of vocal cord cancer and my little brother had lymphomia (luckly he`s won the battle). I`m trying to think - I do not have any other symptoms (no swollen lymphs, I`m in a good physical shape etc but on the other hand I`ve been smoking for about 12 years (I know stupid me). Do you have any tips to ease down stress and anxiaty whilst waiting for my appointment? I would really apretiate that! 

Thank you x

    Hi there 

    I'm in exactly the same situation 

    pains in my neck under my jawline on both sides and had ultra sound as my mum had cancer of the thyroid at 50 and thankfully survived it , I'm now 55 and they found a couple of lumps in mine but are benign, but to be safe they have booked me for bloods and I had a nasoscopy yesterday which showed my mouth and neck clear but the base of my tongue a bit swollen so he's booked me in for an mri 

    glands and lymph nodes seem ok but I too can't help but think the worst 

    Googling stuff is the worst so try not to worry too much , I keep thinking if it's the worst case scenario at least it's been caught early , not sleeping either so fingers crossed for us all on here that we get good results and stay positive xx
