Hi
This is my first post and I feel rather foolish posting here as I know there have been many similar posts to mine but I am so worried.
I had a throat infection in July which cleared up with anti-b's. Soon after that, I started to notice a sensation of a lump in the back of my throat. It seemed to come and go so I was not too worried. However, I made the silly mistake after a few week of consulting Dr Google and I don't need to tell you what the results brought up..eventually made an appointment with my GP who seemed to think it was acid reflux and put me on Omezaprole. This seemed to make it a bit better and again it was coming and going.
However, the last 2 weeks I can feel it there most of the time. Never when I wake up but gets progressively worse during the day especially bad when I am worrying about it! The thing that has really made me panic though is that I have lost weight without trying. Not entirely sure how much, probably about 6 lbs in the last couple of months and my clothes feel looser. I had stopped Googling but am ashamed to say I Googled it and obviously the results all come up as cancer. I am calling my GP tomorrow to see if I can get some tests done but guess I am here for reassurance and to be suitably told off for searching the net for reassurance as all it has made me do it diagnose myself with almost every type of cancer! This forum had been great and has really made me put things into perspective but I still am convinced I have a tumour.
