Hi all,

Well, it's official. I have driven myself insane.

I have been feeling an odd lump in my throat for the past few months. My nose is also blocked and I sneeze a lot, which was greatly aided by Nasonex.

Finally, I went to an ENT who inspected everything with an endoscopy. He noted that everything looked normal but I have a "rather large" amount of lymphatic tissue on the right side of my nasopharynx. He scheduled me for a CT-scan (said it was no hurry, that this could just be a period of increased production).

Of course, I started researching everything considering the asymmetry (mostly to the right side of the nasopharynx). I'm now convinced I have nasal cancer. I can't sleep, barely eat, I feel like I've gone insane. I'm going to push the CT-scan forward but any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated right now.

It's counterproductive to push the CT scan forward if you've worried yourself sick with this worry. The sooner the scan is done the sooner you'll get the results.

Have you thought about whether you could have hay fever?
