Hi guys
a wee update on whats been happening within the last couple of days.
Its not been a great 24 hours really. i had an appt yesterday at the ENT dept and saw a consultant. i had been complaining of a feeling of something stuck in my throat although its not painful. ive had this for prob well over a year but with hubbys bypass and my ongoing testing etc for early onset dementia i had kind of put it to the side and concentrate on the above mentioned.
anyway, as i said i saw the consultant yesterday and he had to put a camera up my nose and into my throat to have a good look. not nice but certainly better than having to go through an endoscopy. Well, he said he was going to bring me in for surgery! OMG i nearly fell off my seat there and then! he then mentioned a biopsy and i asked him if he thought it was cancer. to this he quite casually said yes it could be but we should hope its not!!!!!!! he then said 'try not to worry' !!!!!!!!!
I was given an appointment for november which was fairly quick (unlike the 3 years ive been waiting on the tests for dementia) and i was quite relieved. a couple of hours after i came home i received a phone call from his secretary to say that he wants me in sooner than november. at this i panicked. so, i now have been given an appointment for next friday for pre op assesment and the following tuesday 25th Oct for surgery.
Its bad enough that i possibly have dementia but to have to go through this on top......
Why Me ? Why Not ?
