Hi just really need advice, don't really want to use Google, for the past year I've suffered badly with a sore throat on one side, it used to be on and off but for the past 6 months it's been constant, I did see ent a year ago who did ct scan and showed leukoplakia on my vocal chords, he said he thought the pain was my vocal chords rubbing together. I was discharged. The pain got so much worse, my doctor sent me for ct scan, they said there had been changes in 1 tonsil and an enlarged lymph node that needed biopsied and further testing. I was then sent for mri and ultrasound and although both tests showed enlarged tonsil they said there was no unusual characteristics other than being asymmetrical. The ultrasound showed enlarged lymph node but no unusual characteristics, over the past year and a half I've lost 2 stone unintentionally. Anyway sorry I'm now discharged again and referred to chronic pain clinic ...do I just accept that's it  sorry for the novel I'm 52 and previous smoker until November

  • Yes I get 1 done every 4 months same as ultrasound is meant to be, had 1 last month and I think all was good. I only have my ovaries left, had a hysterectomy 10 years ago, been through the menopause. I'm a walking advert for bad health lol.

  • That's interesting regarding your ovarian cysts. I suffer wth them too and have an ultrasound in June as I think I have one again. All my bloods came back normal. I know it's hard to be pushy but we matter and we have to know what's going on with our bodies.x
