Urgent cancer throat referral

Had a constant sore throat since March 2020, 6 cases of 'tonsillitis' last year, tonsil stones every 4/5 days, coughing, serious hoarseness of throat, lumps of brown pleghm stuck to the back wall of my throat, neck is painful to touch. Finally been put on a two week cancer referral and got a appointment in a weeks time. I'm obviously terrified but don't know if my symptoms add up to cancer? Just wondering if anyone has similar symptoms and got Any answers, and what can I expect for my first appointment at the hospital?

  • i have just been given an urgent refferal last week, still dont have an appointment, but its also for my tonsils, was told it was tonsillitis 2x and both times it wasnt, the stress is buiding day by day, also suffered from pretty bad fatigue, im hoping my appointment is enxt week cause im going away saturday so ill phone my GP tommorw but if i am in before you ill let you know what i had and what to maybe expect

  • Thank you for the response. Yes I'll also let you know if I go in before to try reassure you what to expect. Im suffering from fatigue too, can't even make it through a day without having a nap as I just can't keep my eyes open. It's awful isn't it not knowing. Hope all goes well for you
