Hi all,
Is this usual? I went to Dr with persistent long term painful throat, enlarged node, ear ache, enlarged tonsil, difficult swallowing etc. He examined me, asked some questions and proceeded to send me for an urgent ENT appointment. The Dr gave no indication as to what he thought may be the problem.
I saw ENT, he used a camera to look at my throat via my nose and mouth. Asked a few questions and then booked me for an urgent ct scan (which I am having today) and biopsy if necessary. Again I was left with no indication of what he thought may be the problem.
I am here because my mind is spinning on overdrive through lack of info from Dr & ENT. To be honest I am hoping that I am on totally the wrong forum.
My question is is it usual for them not to mention what they are suspecting. Were you told that cancer was suspected or that they wanted to rule it out? Were you left in the dark like me? Will radiology give me any more info?
Sorry for all the questions. Thank you for reading.
