Hi everyone,
Sooooo... last sunday I looked in the mirror at my mum's and saw this lump at the back of my throat - on the back wall. It's quite big and obvious - even my husband says its there (not in my mind! :blush: )
It doesn't hurt, I haven't got a sore throat or anything. I have a history of cervical HPV infection and precancerous cells that was treated 6 years ago and came back this year. Obviously, my mind automatically thought the worst :blush:
So I went to the GP and the dentist - I could have got an earlier appointment in the week but it would have clashed with work and I don't want HA to totally rule my life. The GP had a look and said "probably lymphatic tissue.." and told me not to worry.
I'm not sure why but I feel really bleak about this and despite the GP saying it was OK I feel uncertain. I know this is a typical reassurance seeking response but I know I was right to go to the GP with a lump.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to get this out of my head and move on...?
Thank you
