Hi everyone, I haven't really had anyone to talk to about all of this and I'm going crazy.
about a year ago, I noticed my salivary glands were swollen, and I had small lump on the right lower neck. I was ill, I lost 4 stone in 6 months, I started getting fatigued and short of breath with dizziness and headaches, I went doctors told I had sinus infection and I got diagnosed with asthma. I had to be put on 4 sets of antibiotics and it still hasn't fully gone. Every since then, My physical health has gone down hill. I've noticed a lot more small lumps all over my neck in the past month, they're tiny but there. My throat hurts all the time, I went doctors on the 13th this month and decided to address the issue again. He felt my lumps, my neck at the bottom started to swell also. He said my asthma has got worse, medicated me, diagnosed me with indigestion and said I need to be referred to an ENT to see why my nodes are still swollen and sore. Not once did he mention cancer. I found out I have been reffered for SUSPECTED NECK AND HEAD CANCER/THRYOID. All I can say is I'm devastated, this is why I didn't tell them how I felt a year ago properly. I ignored it because I was scared. My body feels like it's falling apart, I can't walk long distances, I struggle to swallow, ear ringing with banging headaches daily. My bones hurt. I was reffered for urgent 2 week assessment, they didn't contact me within this time so the doctor has had to do another one. I'm *** off that I haven't been seen! I'm anxious and I'm scared. I don't really know how to cope with all of this. Has anyone else had an experience like this? If so what was your outcome? Everyone keeps telling me I'm fine, but they don't know that, they can't promise that.
