I was diagnosed with Papillary cancer in September 2019 and had a partial removal of thyroid and adjoing lymph nodes in October, I subsequently then had to have a full removal of thyroid after they found the cancer had spread. I had RAI in January 2020 . My first check up was booked for March and lockdown happened so all appointments were cancelled. I have only just had my check up and all is well thank goodness.
I did report that I was having a lot of trouble with my throat area and feeling like something was in it. I was reasurred it was just the scar tissue. I have ocntinued to have symptoms and started to not be able to eat without being in pain. I was told to look into my own throat as they couldnt because of covid rules. I could clearly see 2 ulcers on the left side of the back of my throat and a big lump where my tonsils once were situated. I was sent for a barioum swallow xray. I was diagnosed with lesion, a stricture and cyst. I was then referred for an urgent Endoscopy which I had last week. I was sent to another hopsital for this and they did not seem to have any notes on me and thought I had been referred by my GP. I did tell them Ihad an abnormal barium swallow xray but they said as they had not seen the report it was unconfirmed. The Endoscopy came back as normal findings with a Hiatus Hernia and Oesphosigitis but did not take biopsy. I am now totally confused and I am not booked to see my Throat surgeon until the 24th where he thinks he is going to give me the results of the biopsy.
I have spoken with my oncolgy Nurse and asked her to get a message to my Consultant but until then I just have to wait. Utterly agonising!!
