Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

An update on my diagnosis regarding constant mucus and hoarseness after 3 yrs. After appts with an ENT, Primary Dr, and 2 gastrologists with cat scans, endoscopy, Bravo test, xray while swallowing, several prescriptions, and my own research on diet it kept getting worse. The hoarseness got worse so had my 2nd visit to another ENT. Testing showed abnormal cells in my voice box and after a biopsy was confirmed severe dysplasia (pre cancerous cells) i am still in shock and angered at all I went thru. And each dr gave up on me with the conclusion live with it. So now meeting with a radiologist for radiation treatments. So now I am looking at possible permanent voice change, swallowing problems and damage to vocal cords! I am so discouraged and scared. The medical field is encountered failed to look beyond. Sad!!!

I’m still stuck with it.
Im so sorry for what didn’t occur with your providers that should have!
It is frightening what’s going on in medicine today! In some cases there is a lack of thoroughness in others it speaks of incompetence, which is totally dangerous for we patients. I too have had providers miss a kidney lesion on MRI, totally missed it, although another later scan from a different provider found it and led to diagnosis with a renal papillary carcinoma confirmed by biopsy, So the radiologist completely missed it! I could even see it on the scan results!
It’s frightening because there are so many people whose information is falling through the cracks and then they are worse off before their condition gets attended to! All the best to you, keep up hope and just keep pursuing the course that you need because it’s no one else is going do it as well as you! Keep going! ❤️

I’m so very sorry for what you’re going through. And I’m angry at the medical profession on your behalf. Even tho I don’t know you I’ll be thinking of you and seeing you healed.
