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 Gia92
So sorry to see you here
Did you ask whether cancer is a possibity? Consultants are usually upfront about these things.
