Very worried, can’t think of anything else!

I noticed a cluster of what look like ulcers on one tonsil recently, I have slight pain and have soothed it sucking on lockets however it's quite a large area about a penny or two in diameter each way, it doesn't seem to be healing whatsoever and it's quite large to look at, very scared and i've just lost my appetite competely, I live on a boat so I can't see a doctor for awhile and i'm going crazy thinking about it.

Did anyone have this as a first symptom?

    It's horrible when you cannot think of anything else but a worry.

    While i do not have this symptom, do you have a GP?

    I feel the only way you are going to get peace of mind is to speak to a doctor.

    If this is not possible, can you call 111 and tell them, they are good.

    Hi sorry for late reply

    I have a breast lump, and GP sent me to breast clinic.

    The consultant there couldnt seem to understand why the GP sent me as he just thought the lump was a fatty lump, i had a cyst diagnosed in 2016 mammogram but it was benign and i dont know where on breasts it is.

    Anyway, the consultant wanted me to come back for a mammogram to make sure.

    I got a letter asking me to go back for further investigations, another mammogram, possibe biopsy or ultrasound, that is on wednesday.

    The lady who did my mammogram said i should not have another for 6 months, so i will tell them, i am happy for them to do the other tests.
