My dear, I am shocked and saddened to hear that your GP has dismissed these findings and complaints that are big red flags. As Tammy suggested, get thyself to a head and neck oncologist ASAP.

You also need to have the enlarged nodes in your leg evaluated, as well!

It's hard exactly where to steer you as you have not filled in your signature, which can be done at the drop down menu at the top of this page and select "edit profile".

I wish you all the best in getting to a qualified professional swiftly.

Please come back to keep us posted and to get any help that you may need.

Best wishes!
Kerri
