Dear all,
I was referred to an urgent ENT clinic due to having post nasal drip, and mildly sore throat morning symptoms for about a year and lately developing tonsil stones.
The ENT did a nasoendoscopy and found a suspicious lesion in my nasopharynx and said I would need to have an urgent referral to get it checked by a head and neck specialist. The day after, I get a call to come in for an MRI with dye. Now I am waiting for the call to book the appointment with head and neck.
I am absolutely terrified, for three days I have done nothing but contemplate death. I look at my husband, (we have been married for less than 2 years) and I can't help but to start sobbing. And the sobbing doesn't stop. I have panic attacks constantly. I have exams coming up for my masters course and I cannot even concentrare.
I do not have any symptoms other than the ones I mentioned. I don't have bumps in my neck, or nose bleeds, or unexplained weight loss or hearing loss or double vision. Do you think this will be nasopharyngeal carcinoma? I know it's treatable, but I have had a really rough year having been diagnosed with HIV recently and my god this feels like cruel punishment. My husband doesn't deserve all this pain.
I thank everyone in advance for taking the time to read and reply.
best,
rick
