Sinus cancer fear!

[Luja]

Hi, so since December 2014 I have had terrible nasal/ sinus problems .... since January 2015 my right side of my nose has been completely blocked. Every time I blow my nose there is blood and today I coughed up phlemb and there was blood in this. My right side of my face is painful and now I have points on my head and next to my eyes that ache ... I have bee to my doctor who has referred me to an ENT specialist ... I feel scared that I have cancer ... I suffer terrible from H/A and would like to know has anyone else ever had any of these symptoms and it was or was not cancer? I'm really scared and feel like I am going to be told it's terminal!! Thanks x

I can empathise in some ways because I have the same fear with my tonsils. When you go to ENT you will be seeing a specialist and he will have seen your symptoms hundreds of times before. It might be a chronic inflammation or an allergy issue that has manifested. obvious only the expert will tell you but if your GP wasn't worried then you should feel more reassured. I have my own issues right now with my tonsils and need an operation so I know how you are feeling but look positively towards your appointment and getting some answers and hopefully the right medication x

Thank you, the doctor said if I was a heavy smoker she would be worried but as I'm not she isn't that worried. I. Ant help it though as I just cry at the thought of cancer and never seeing my boys again. I'm sorry to hear about your tonsils ... when is your operation??

Is there anyone else can help? My ears and throat now hurt. I'm totally convinced it's Cancer as I seem to tick all the boxes and I'm soo scared

Sorry I don't have much advice but my right nostril has been blocked (only partially during the day, then fully at night) for over a year now too. When I look up (tmi ha) the right nostril looks very red and is more 'swollen'. I also get what feels like liquid shifting sometimes in my head, feels very strange.
My partner has a sniffly nose all the time. I genuinely mean every single day he sounds like he has a cold. I think sinus issues are probably pretty common

Thank you, I just feel like I'm going to be told it is. Sadly a friend of mine had sinus cancer when we were in our twentys and it scares me
