Hi all, my partner (29m) has been struggling with a hoarse voice, excess phlegm and has a swollen throat. He got an endoscopy through the NHS in the summer which showed clear and he was diagnosed with silent reflux and given medication.
Nothing worked and although his voice did get slightly better before Christmas it got a lot worse recently. I pushed him to go to a private doctor as we have the privilege to do so since we both work.
He had his appointment today and they could see a mass on his right vocal chord. They have told him it could be cancer but it also could be something else. He will get a scan and biopsy soon but I am so extremely terrified.
He is young fit and healthy otherwise and has no underlying conditions and has never smoked. He drinks a regular amount but not weekly or in excess.
Basically this is why I am here as I just don't know what to do and can't see how I will cope with the next few weeks of waiting.
Thank you for reading
