    Hi Red,

    The trouble with the web is sometimes it increases our anxiety rather than relieving it!!

    I think the swab is a good idea!! I have also had sore throats that have lasted longer than two weeks, I didn't develop throat cancer!!

    Another visit to the GP is probably in order to allieviate your anxiety,

    In the meantime try to calm yourself, continue with the sweets as they seem to help and try to stay away from google!

    Thinking of you

    Hugs to you

    Hi,

    What would swab results predict, infection?

    My swab showed that I had a very rare throat infection so they could treat it appropriately.

    Hi Red,

    A swab would show any type of infection that you might have. worth a try in case you have an infection that needs a specific antibiotic! Really don't think it is throat cancer but at least the visit to the doctor should reassure you

    hugs to you

    Hi Red,
    My friend had throat cancer and it is not just having a sore throat you are not from what you say displaying the same symptoms. Try to stay away from looking at the net as it can increase your anxieties. I often get a sore throat but when you stop worrying about it, it might go away on it's own.

    Hope yr feeling better soon

    Hi all,

    (sticking to the one thread)

    Over the past two days, I have also been experiancing a sickness feeling, which comes and goes throughout the day.

    This has started to concearn me along with the throat but I have noticed, when the sickness feeling arrises, I concentrate on it, which eases my throat.

    Trouble is with me, I don't know whats anxiety and what is not..!
