Just diagnosed with a throat cancer
Head & Neck Cancer | Last Active: Feb 22 2:57pm | Replies (16)Comment receiving replies
I am 57. Went in 3 months ago with sore throat and enlarged tumors on the outside of neck . Did cat scan, did sonogram, haven't received any information. No call back. Made an appointment and the doctor their was un caring. " I DONT FEEL ANYTHING ON YOUR NECK", she said. Never looked in throat. Sent me home. Now knots all down side of neck. Can hardly swallow and tumor or such on my throat in different places, like enlarged glands. One looks like a photo of cancer on Google. 3 months with nobody. I feel as though I'm sitting here dying. Go to doctor tomorrow and will insist I get referred. Please pray for me.

@lenastewart hang in there and keep us updated.
I was misdiagnosed twice by former primary care provider and ENT, my dentist found me to have cancer and got the ball rolling for me.
I was stage IV and am 9 years out from treatment and 63 years old and still alive to talk about it.
Wishing you the best and prayer 🙏 sent,

@lenastewart Please keep after this for a diagnosis. Requesting a referral is what led to my tumor diagnosis after seeing 3 ENT's. It did not show up on the CT scans. You are the best advocate for your own health care. Keep fighting until you get an answer. How did your last appointment go?

@lenastewart, Hello.
I had to go to several ENTs for the same exact scoping before the final and fourth ENT immediately saw the tumor. Even after a CAT scan, they got it wrong.
Prayer is the only thing that saved me or the last diagnoses of Eagles Syndrome would have been accepted. Then, like you say, I would have waited around to die. The Holy Spirit guided me to keep on going and will guide you too. The one ENT even scheduled surgery to remove my tonsils! All the while there was a cancerous tumor growing in my throat!
Please keep going.
Go on your own if insurance allows.
Don't give up. You are in my prayers. 🙏✨
