Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm glad you've seen your doctor and that they've been treating you. If they suspected throat cancer, I am sure they'd do the necessary tests to check on that diagnosis. Here is a link to information on throat cancer including the symptoms that people typically suffer. https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar m tn It is found in the mouth/throat of about 7-14% of sexually active adults and causes mouth/throat cancer. The vaccine does not prevent transmission of the virus and it does not treat the virus that is already acquired. It greatly reduces the chance of catching the strains of the virus most likely to cause cancer if given before exposure. HPV is spread through oral sex. It is found in the mouth/throat of about 7-14% of sexually active adults and causes mouth/throat cancer.
Avatar n tn I have benign thryroid nodules and am in between three doctors who all have different opinions. When I mention to any of them pains, coming and going and mild/dull, in the front of my throat/neck, feeling muscular, they all say the same thing: "I don't know what's causing that." In just reading a little of your discussion on this subject, I feel as if I have just learned more than they can teach me.
Avatar n tn ) Would cancerous nodules cause pain in back of neck that come and go, or would pain be in front?

A bacterial illness, such as strep throat (caused by the streptococcus bacterium) or Lyme disease (a bacterial infection spread by certain types of ticks). Side effects of phenytoin (Dilantin), a medicine used to prevent seizures. Side effects of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination.
Avatar n tn I came down with Cancer in December of 2004. I had a large tumor under the chest, around my throat and the main arteries in the neck. Scared.. you bet. Surgery was performed and the chest tumor was removed but the doctor left the remaining. Just too dangerous to remove. Received Chemo for 6 months and Rad... Went into remission for 4 years and returned in October 2008 as NHL. I fell their is a connection with titanium and my cancer exposure.

Avatar f tn It could be due to varied causes like upper respiratory tract infection like laryngitis or pharyingitis, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, reflux laryngitis in people who have acidity and GERD, muscle abnormality, voice box abnormality, polyps, tumors or weakness of voice box etc. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi, Cancers that involve the throat, base of the tongue, tonsil, or pharynx usually present with a sore throat that does not go away, cough, difficulty swallowing, weight loss, ear pain, blood-tinge sputum or a lump in the back of the mouth, throat or neck. Are there other symptoms present? You have an increased risk of developing throat cancer if you smoke tobacco and drink alcohol, chew betel quid, or being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Avatar m tn I am very worried it could be cancer. My family has a history of cancer, including throat cancer, and I am wondering if what I am experiencing is a sign of throat cancer. The feeling is in the same location as it was last time. I do not have a history of clinically diagnosed thyroid problems, though I have always had difficulty breathing at night (usually needing to have something moist in my throat, like sugarless candy). Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn My wisdom teeth have not come in yet, they were supposed to 3 years ago, my throat itches and I always have a stuffy nose. You may have a deviated septum and that causes the nose and throat stuff. As for you having cancer, trust me they would know by your blood work. My friend had no problems no signs, went to the doctor for an after college check up and to do a CBC and other blood work, his numbers for everything came back off the chart. They would know if its cancer.
Avatar f tn I having been reading that hpv also causes throat cancer. Is there anyone who was diagnosed with hpv cervical dyplasia and later had a problem with others cancers?
Avatar m tn Hi, I have 2 lymph nodes always up on the right side of my throat aswell as one in the right side of my neck. The one in my neck has been up since Feb 2010. Along with that i have a slightly swollen left tonsil but i've had 3 doctors tell me that its nothing to worry about. I suffer from allergies and ALWAYS have a runny nose, even in Summer. I think i may have post nasal drip aswell. I was just wondering is it normal for my lymph nodes to be up all the time because of my allergies?
Avatar n tn ve made it this long so must not be cancer? Anyway, my internist wanted a throat scope and review of US he ordered so sent me to an ENT. That visit was 90 seconds. he didn't know who I was, why I was there, didn't have or review my US and didn't even feel my neck while swallowing which seems the normal thing they do. He said is acid reflex and no need for anything further, see internist in a year.
Avatar f tn For the last several months I have been experiencing neck pain, some swelling, sore raspy throat feeling, pain in the ears, jaw and just about every possible symptom of hypo and hyperthyroid.

Avatar n tn If you had cancer in the past and the lymph node showed up on your neck.. wouldnt you see an Oncologist? Could be a recurrence from the original cancer?
Avatar f tn My boyfriend has just undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer .... he has had tonsils removed, lymph glands removed and still has the sore throat when swallowing , a feeling s if there is something at the back of the throat . A few weeks ago he had a camera up the nose and down the throat and found to have a lesion on the vocal cord ...he's waiting to go have another biopsie on this , do you think this could be another case of cancer ?

5710313 tn?1372829381 He has savear nausea, throws up whats seems like gallons of clear puke full of bile and blood for hours, extreme hot and cold flashes, his body shakes for hours, back and neck pains, extremely low potassium, and an irregular heart beat. He goes in to the ER, gets stabilized and discharged and has to be rushed back 2 days later as soon as he eats solid foods.
Avatar n tn Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found. Severe, long-standing GERD can damage the esophagus and cause a condition known as Barrett's esophagus wherein the normal lining of the esophagus is replaced by a lining more like that of the stomach or intestine.
Avatar m tn m male 21 and a month a ago or so i have had this pain inside my neck at first i thought it was due to maybe a cold i had gotten better of but the cold and also diagnosed with bronchitis in the lungs is now long gone and i still continue to have pain in my throat lately i have notice recently i have to consistently clear my throat and notice wheezing and coughing but only a few times though put the day and sometimes i feel my voice change.
331673 tn?1199354285 I was given a choice to either quit smoking and hope that we were early enough to have caught it, and hope that my throat repairs itself, or end up with throat cancer and all that goes with it. I quit smoking. My following check ups have been all good. I am LUCKY, because I didnt wait, I have lost to many friends and family to cancer, (on my husbands side even non smokers). So please dont wait, get to a Doctor. I may not be here today if I didnt Jump to it.
Avatar n tn Often people mistakenly call the cancer in the thyroid throat cancer as the thyroid sits in the throat area. You would be best to post your question in the cancer forum.
Avatar f tn Hello, I first noticed my lymph nodes were swollen on the left side of my neck about 2 weeks ago. They may have been swollen longer than that, I'm not sure because I don't regularly feel my neck. I was concerned about it so I decided to go to the doctor. I explained my concerns to my doctor, told her I wasn't experiencing any other symptoms (no pain, sore throat, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.) I also don't have swollen glands anywhere else.
Avatar n tn I now am experiencing a feeling of a lump in my throat when I swallow and the front of my neck seems swollen or enlarged. It is very difficult to swallow if my head is even slightly titled up. What could be causing this?
