Common Questions and Answers about Neck cancer symptoms

Avatar m tn Anything is possible, but I think it would be accompanied by these symptoms # Hoarseness or difficulty swallowing -Hoarseness - Trouble breathing - Swollen lymph nodes, especially in your neck - Pain in your throat or neck, sometimes spreading up to your ears The fever, night sweats and lump could also be a sign of something not so serious like an infection or something more serious like cancer I would think that your symptoms could point toward lymphoma or thyroid cancer.
Avatar m tn It seems that when I look up symptoms for esophageal cancer, hiatal hernia, and GERD, that they all have the same symptoms with the exception of bleeding (which is late in the cancer stages). Knowing that I have a hiatal hernia and GERD, how might I get a clue from symptoms if I were developing esophageal cancer without getting a regular endoscope?
Avatar n tn This has become more frequent the last year or so. My right lymph node on my neck is swollen. Definitely a positive lymph node on the neck. I used to be able to recall peoples names very well, and now I am getting really bad about it. A few weeks ago, I must have had a virus because I had a low grade fever for a good 2 to 3 weeks. I admit that I don't drink enough water, but I used to be soo active (gym, study without problem, functioned on minimal sleep, etc.
Avatar f tn I would also check out the possibility of PMR, an autoimmune disease. Many of your symptoms are NOT symptoms. The shoulder, neck and jaw pain , might sweats, joint pains, low grade fever and more are PMR Symptoms. the dr. Can do a couple of blood tests that can give him an idea if this could be the reason for your symptoms. Easily treated with steroid meds.
Avatar m tn Hello im 18 and I have been having mysterious aches and pains , i have alot of blood test ? if it was cancer wouldnt they have picked it up by now , or seen something was off and wrong ... and its fusterating when people dont beilieve you when you say something wrong ya know . I dont know what to do , I ran HIV test on me all other STDs and nothing i dont know whats wrong im starting to think its in my head like people are telling me . but could it be cancer ..
Avatar f tn Your many symptoms don't relate to breast cancer that I can see. If the stopping of your period is from stress then most everything else could be also as your post indicates that you might be rather easily stressed. Even if you were positive for the BC gene that usually only indicates that routine checking (mammogram / ultrasound) would begin earlier than the usual age of 40.
Avatar m tn m scared of,is the lymph nodes.. they are everywhere. I mean,armpit,one in the groin and on the neck. Do you think are because of hiv? (Rainlover,if I don't have hiv,do you think I have cancer?)I'm so scared.. too scared. I have a white tongue too but I don't drink much watter and I have the bilirubin a little big. Whatever.. do you think I got hiv from my single exposure? and there was not vaginal or anal sex! Just oral and kissing.By the way,he is seropositive. Thank you!!

Avatar n tn They look like little bumps in the back of my tongue and it fills ruff when I swallow. What are the symptoms of throat cancer? What do I have to look for?
Avatar f tn Now I google this and know I think I have cancer or tb. Then I think I make myself jaw other symptoms- i get very hot at night- I sweat but it's not a soaking sweat. Other than that - I don't feel tired I don't have a fever, and the weight I am losing is from my pregnancy- I still have an appetiate. I workout every day and I feel fine. So any ideas why my lymph node is swollen?? I am not a fan of doctors ans I do have my yearly appointment the first week of January...
Avatar f tn I just had my thyroid and lymph nodes taken out on Monday because I had thyroid cancer. I had a cystic mass on the right side of my neck. Ever since ive had this surgery, the docs say my calcium levels are low. I was released from the hospital 2 days after the surgery, but I just got admitted again because I got really sick. I got really numb and tingly all over my body. The docors are saying its because of low calcium. They give me calcium through an iv and tums.
Avatar n tn are cancer symptoms (ie fatigue, nausea) intermittent or are they constant and progressive? I've been sick on and off for the past few months. i'm losing sleep, feeling weak, occasionally nauseous, light dry cough, no fever, but every once in a while i'll have a few days where i feel fine and sometimes it's unbearable.
Avatar n tn The symptoms you described are not those for thyroid cancer (usually doesn't have symptoms), but for hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) - 2 separate conditions. Ask you doctor to order thyroid function tests. Those are TSH, Free T3 and Free T4. Those tests will tell you whether your thyroid is functioning properly. You should also ask for thyroid antibody tests to confirm/rule out Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
Avatar f tn he had the same exact symptoms for a good year or so.. suddnly they found cancer in his lymh nodes and ssaid that it had to have been somewhere else first i honestly believe that it was stomach cancer or throat cancer from the h-pyloi this scares me as i still have no ins.
Avatar m tn When they do the MRI of his head, it may be wise to request they include the neck, for a head and neck MRI. See, his thyroid acting up and the lesion in his brain may be somehow interconnected. I hope he is seeing an endocrinologist for his thyroid situation. If not, he SHOULD be. And I'm SO sorry to hear your husband is so very ill. Gosh, I know what that's like, my husband had colon cancer when he was 39 years old, and the docs said he was WAAAAAY out of the norm for that.
Avatar m tn Hi there. I have a lump, possibly a swollen gland on the left side of my neck, close to the jaw. According to the charts it looks like the jugulodigastric node and is right on top of the jugular. My best guess to size is just over a half inch. It isn't tender, just swollen. I just quit smoking and I'm 24 years old. I'm not sure how long it has been there, though I suspect its been a while (been monitoring it for a week now). I don't have any other symptoms that I'm aware of.
Avatar n tn I was sick with something few weeks ago, and i want to know if this is connected to skin cancer somehow or skin lymphoma or any cancer suggestive from that biopsy. My symptoms were, Pimples on the top of my scalp, that crusted, and stung like fire, and were very painful, could not even comb my hair, the whole side of my neck was swollen and painful from both sides,more on one side though.
Avatar f tn 4- Even with 3 benign results, what are the odds that it could be cancer taking my symptoms into consideration? 5- Should I get a second opinion now or wait until I am referred to a surgeon, in case that happens? Thanks for your assistance and support.
Avatar f tn Has anyone out there ever had neck swelling between the neck and clavicle? Doc's say mine is not a mass, but don't know what it is.
1242672 tn?1268361461 Most likely, your symptoms may be due nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because of injury or prolapse due to neck lump where contact between the edges of the vertebrae can cause neck pain. In few people, this pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head, shoulders, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) that you felt. Other symptoms are like neck pain and stiffness can be intermittent.
