I’m a young mum and have so much fear and the fact I’m young doctors have just ignored me for 18 months until I’m 7stone with a lump coming from my neck. I feel alone, scared, no one understands me or really what I’m dealing with. I also have been diagnosed with hpv 16 and 18 and I know this as there is a lesion on my cervix (really hard time at the moment) anyway from my research the type of hpv I have is connected with oral as well as cervical cancer. I have an ultrasound on my neck booked for March the 18th with a possible biopsy depending on what’s found. Now the lump has been there I’m finally being taken. Most worryingly 6 months ago a lump on the right side of my neck it feels like a very enlarged lymph node that has been enlarged for 6 months and has not gone down ontop of that I have lost 1 stone 4 pounds in 3 months with no change to my diet and actually less excercise as iv been so very tired. Iv not long turned 30 and a mummy to two small boys.Ībout 18 months ago is when all my symptoms begun-ġ8 months ago I started getting a persistent sore throat, 5 days out of 7 I would have this chronic sore throat and feels almost identical to tonsillitis, after around 40 trips to the doctors over these past 18 months with these persistent sore throats I was always given antibiotics (never worked), told it was probably viral and to wait (18 months on still here ✋), iv had blood tests (no infections indicated), throat swabs (always negative) - infact the more I went the more the doctors made me feel like it was all in my head as I’m “ too young for it to be anything more”, anyway about 7 months ago I started feeling really really tired, not just a normal tired but exhausted even after an 8 hour sleep a tiredness I know is not normal, then more and more symptoms have been coming- hoarseness ontop of this persistent sore throat, painful swallowing, loosing my voice after a long conversation.
