I'm back after a long time of managing my HA. First it was bowel cancer, then lymphoma, not long ago it was breast cancer but I battled through that and it came and went very quickly, and now I'm worried about tonsil/throat cancer!
I don't know why I even checked in my mouth, I didn't have a sore throat, ear pain or any symptom at all. But now, I'm obsessively looking. Then I've noticed how one tonsil looks slightly different to the other. (I think it's my tonsil, in all honesty I don't know) however, when looking in my mouth I'm seeing lots of things I've not noticed before and in all honesty I have no idea what's normal and what's not. All I do know is the more I'm looking, the more I'm panicking. And actually, I do have a sore throat now and neck from straining trying to look.
My uncle has recently been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and so I know where this has come from!
It's a vicious cycle and it's really bringing me down.
I don't want to go back to where I was a few years back, but it's getting that way :-(
I'm 32 years old and I have a husband and 2 beautiful children. I shouldn't be worrying about this stuff!
