Lump in throat.

For about 8 weeks now I have the feeling of something in my throat, I went to my Dr who thought it could be silent reflex and  was prescribed Lansoprazole, steroid nasal spay and I also purchased Neilmed. 
After 2 weeks there was no improvement, when I swallow the lump moves and also when I cough, this leads to me gagging and being sick, it happens a number of times through the day. 
I went back to my Dr last week and he has referred me to the hospital for a chest X-ray and camera tests down my throat. The lump appears to be getting bigger as now feels the size of a grape. 
I lost my Dad this year to throat cancer and I'm so worried. 

  • Hi Sarah1968,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read of your worries and also to hear about your Dad.

    I can understand this must be a little uinsettling, but it is good to hear you have spoken to your doctor and that you have a referral. This should provide some answers - I know the waiting for results or information is never easy.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for your appointment. Try to keep busy in the meantime if you can, to help keep your mind off things.

    We're always here for support on this forum if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
