Going through this too. So sorry to hear you are. I have an MRI tomorrow. The ENT referral me but he said he couldn't see the patch I have in my throat near where my tonsil used to be. But I can see it. The consultant didn't get close to me and I had my sheild on because of COVID. Really concerning but hopefully we will both be ok. Xx

Thanks for commenting and so sorry you're going through this too. What did the dr do at your ent appointment? Will you let me know how your MRI goes? We should definitely stay in touch. Good luck tomorrow xx

The consultant didn't really do a lot to be honest. I think because I was scared of COVID he had a look in my throat through my shield but that's it. They usually do a camera test but he said he didn't do that because of COVID and how I was but think he was doing it the MRI because he doesn't know what's wrong. But I can see the sore spot near where my tonsil used to be on the left and my partner can see it too. And it's been there over 4 weeks now. So worrying. The way it feels isn't good either. It hurts when I swallow and where the ulcer thing is I can feel it inside of that makes sense. Xx

And thank you. Need a miracle. I really do. It just don't feel right. Oh yeah the consultant did say to take Gavascon 4 times a day and prop myself up at night and yes I do have acid reflux but that wouldn't just create 1 ulcer looking  thing wouldn it and make me feel like I have a lump in my throat on that side. I've had ear pain on and off but the throat is pretty much there all the time and also feels like burning tongue and roof of mouth. Xx

Hello. Just thought I'd pop by and reply to your message. I have pretty much Sam symptoms as you except I have a sore spot on the side of my tongue, my dentist doesn't think there is anything wrong so I'm not sure if it's all in my head. But I do get this burning sensation on the top and side of my tongue and I have had it about 3 times on the roof of my mouth... it's such a bizarre feeling isn't it? When I try to explain to people they don't have a clue what I'm talking about! I also suffer with heartburn every.single.night! It's getting annoying now haha. Anyway I have a doctors appointment face to face tomorrow, if she says nothing is wrong I suppose I should move on. 
 

hope everything goes well for You and u find out what's causing the issues. 

Hey, how did your MRI go today? When will you get the results? Xx

Hi CloClo, had the MRI. Had my eyes closed the whole time. They wanted to do the contrast dye but I didn't want it as worried about all the toxins in my body as it is. Hopefully they can still see clear enough. Just really hoping it's ok. Need a miracle as my throat just doesn't feel right. Feels like a cut inside and a lump feeling in the side. And I can see the ulcer like sore spot near my left tonsil tissue where near my tonsil used to be. Will be amazed if nothing. But really really hoping. How are you doing? Thanks for asking about me. Xx

Glad it all went well! Fingers crossed you won't be waiting for too long. I know what you mean about lump at the side and patch though. It almost feels like I've got something stuck behind my tonsil. Still waiting for my appointment!! Xx

Hi Lisa .... just popped on to have a look around and I noticed your post . I have had throat cancer ( base of tongue stage 4 I finished my treatment in ... May . Anyway I have had a worrying throat since beginning of December , starting off as a sore throat and now it's exactly how you feel apart from it's down my throat so I don't know if it's an ulcer or even maybe even thrush , it feels like I have a lump in my throat and each time I swallow I get what feels like a shock . Because I am under an oncologist two weeks ago I had a MRI scan that was clear & this last Saturday I had a pet/ct scan and that was also clear , just as it was in September , so I absolutely don't know what it is , maybe with me nerve damage . 
what I'm trying to say is this may not be cancer , but you know your own body . 

My original tumour showed up on an MRI scan , bit the tell tale sign was lumps in the lymph glands in my neck .

fingers crossed for you . X x x 

Thank you for replying. I do hope you are ok and sorry you have been through this. I am just thinking all sorts and I am struggling to get out of bed. I can t see it being nothing as the pain is horrible and it feels like I have a hard lump inside. What else could be causing. I don't want to eat anymore. I can see what looks like an ulcer and I can feel the pain of it inside it's been nearly 5 weeks so why is it still hitting. Makes no sense and I am not coping very well. I'm struggling to look after my kids and I don't even know any results yet and I am petrified of being put to sleep so many things going through my head. I had the MRI done less than a day  ago but I have messaged the out patients to see if the cons ultant can call me. I am in so much pain I need help. So so so terrified. I have had the schlock feeling too but now it feels different. Burning and pain. So worried. Xx

I've phoned the hospital but the consultant not there until next week. But I've spoken to a HCA and they will try contact him to see if he can get MRI results. Can't function right. Struggled to get out of bed. How can I get through this? Xx

Hi everyone again my scan is ok. Thankfully I am so relieved and appreciate all your support and help and advise. My throat feels so sore and uncomfortable and wish knew what it was. It really hurts. I don't even think I have a follow up with the consultant so think I'm left in the dark. And it's really bothering me. It hurts. Think will call and see if can have a telephone appointment w hen he ' s back. Xx

Hi Lisa-Ann 

so glaD to hear your scan came back ok, maybe your symptoms will start to ease now you have some sort of outcome. Anxiety can play a big part. Yes maybe see if you can speak to the consultant which may give you more peace of mind. Hopefully you start to feel better soon. My Throat on one side has been quite painful today, still managing to eat like an animal. The pain is radiating to my ear. Hoping it clears off soon or my anxiety will take me Back to doctors.

That's great news .... Maybe now you have had this amazing news the pain won't be as heightened and you can start feeling normal again.  X x x

The pain and discomfort is still happening and it's making me really worried because the consultant couldn't see the mark I can see and my partner can see as well because I had my visor on I don't think he got a good enough look but he said he did but if he did he'd be able to see what me and my partner did. He called me today to try reassurance me but it's actually got me thinking worse as the MRI didn't pick anything up but it says I refused the contrast because I was scared of a reaction so what if there is something and it's not picked it up because of me. I thought if I needed contrast the images wouldn't be velar enough but they were and they saw no abnormalities but the report did say it was a no contrast scan. So the contrast may have made it more clearer. It didn't pick this mark up that me and my partner can see so that scares me too. I may have to go in and have the consultant look down with the camera. He's adamant he couldn't see anything but me and my partner are not imagining it. Wish I had the contrast but I am living in mould which I think is making me ill and iller so was worried about the reaction of the dye. Feel so afraid. Struggling to get up today. 

How are you doing now? Xx
