But I've only really had 1 test which was the ultrasound (I'm not counting the camera I had down my throat last August because that was before I found this lump).
It's like today I was at college and I was sat at the front of the class so I was having to look up at a bit of an angle to see the whiteboard. When looking up like this the front of my throat, like around the adams apple, was really aching and hurting to the point where I couldn't hold that position for long. Also holding my neck like this causes chest pains, as does looking to the side. I'm sorry but something is seriously wrong here.
And anxiety, like I've said many times, does not explain the growing lump in my throat. Like I say I only used to be able to feel it on my right side (I ALWAYS made sure of that so I could stress to people it was just on one side). But now I am starting to feel this lump on my left side as well, which obviously means it is growing.
I am still really really scared but I just know my GP will give me no more appointments. Which means I will have to go private. But apparently that can be a few hundreds just to see a consultant, and if you want scans or cameras it can run in to the thousands. As a young person I simply cannot afford this, but if it's either this or dying then I'll have to use my savings.
