Throat inflammation, symptoms continuing despite all clear

30 Jan 2023 21:09

A bit of background on my situation. I've been having problems with my throat for around 18 months now. Pain in the left of my throat neck pain and a strange pain in my ear left side only. I saw my GP who referred me for 2 week cancer pathway and saw oncologist. I've had a CT scan MRI, panendoscopy and biopsies taken. After a worrying wait I was relieved to be told there was no cancer found. The diagnosis was inflammation. I went back to see oncologist 4 months later in November 22 he examined my neck and said he was happy to discharge me. I am still getting the same symptoms now and was wondering if anyone has or is in a similar situation. Thank you in advance

Hello Linsum

I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some ongoing health problems over the last 18 months. It's really good to know that you've seen the specialist and that there was no cancer found. I'm sure that was a great relief. 

Hopefully things will settle but do get back in touch with your GP if your symptoms continue or you're at all worried. 

Best wishes,
