Hi
For all of you that know me, I have had problems re my throat for over a month. I was convinced I had throat cancer and have been so scared, felt like I had a lump in my throat and could feel loads of lumps in my neck. I got myself in a right state! I had a scheduled doctors appointment for today so kept trying to last out!
Well had the appointment today! Anxiety hit me all the way there, that if I didn't know better I would have thought I was going to actually die! Dizziness, pains in places I didn't know exsisted, short of breath, throat felt like it was closing, palpatations, head ache, sweats, numbness and deralization where I felt in a bubble! ALL OVER A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT!!! I thought if I looked as bad as I felt she would actually commit me!!
Anyway sorry to babble, I told her my story about my throat, she felt all my neck and all my throat area and said there was no lumps and bumps to worry about, it all felt perfectly normal (so the lumps I were feeling were nothing, phew) and she looked in my throat and mouth and said, it all looks perfectly healthy and that it was probably globus and nothing to worry about. I said I was worried it was throat cancer and she said that it was very rare in someone my age who didn't smoke. Phew.... THEN SHE SAID..... IF IT DOESN'T CLEAR UP IN A MONTH THEN COME BACK AND MAYBE WE CAN GET YOU CHECKED OUT IN ENT..... I was happy to that point.
Do you think I should be okay and just carry on with my life now or would you be panicked that maybe she thinks something is wrong??? I am all confused now, would love your advise...... I was hoping I would come away all relieved......... :weep:
