Hi all,  went for an endoscopy and they said they found a mass in the throat so being sent for a biopsy. 

Could this be cancer? I'm struggling to see what else it could be. 

Thanks 

  • Hi  

    So sorry to see you here  

    Did you ask whether cancer is a possibity? Consultants are usually upfront about these things.
