It took over 6 months of me complaining about a sore throat, 4 trips to GP and two to the ENT, before I woke up with a swollen lymph node under my jaw and me spitting up some blood...the ER Dr said I had a sinus infection. Three days later my GP sent me in for a CT scan...TADA there it was...the ENT couldn't believe he had missed it. Well the long and short of it is keep bugging them, make them look.
Hope all works out well.
