Common Questions and Answers about Throat cancer diagnosis

Avatar f tn Common causes are anxiety disorder,acid reflux or GERD,biliary disease,cranial nerve compression esp glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve and myasthenia gravis.Throat cancer is unlikely as other symptoms are also present along with feeling of lump in throat. The most common cause is gastro esophageal reflux disease - GERD. Diagnosis is by fibroptic laryngoscopy. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy also helps confirm the GERD diagnosis.
Avatar m tn Go see an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor for a medical diagnosis. Usually people start with their dentist first if bumps are in the mouth area but if you feel something in your throat, an ENT doctor is best. Oral cancer is very curable if you get to it early. Please make an appointment.
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 f tn He can have anal cancer, penile cancer, throat cancer.
Avatar m tn But you really need to make sure, and go to a doctor again cause Micheal Douglas had the same issue, sore throat, got it checked and they didnt see nothing, keep hurting and he went back and by that time he had stage 4 throat cancer. Not saying that you do or it even anything like cancer, but please go as soon as you can and get it checked out again, and be more thourough, and go to another doctor and get that second opinion. But like the other person, said tonsilitis is also an option.
Avatar m tn I am a gay man of 20 years and recently I heard that people who practiced oral sex with more than 6 couples have 250% more likely to have throat cancer caused by HPV. I have had more or less the number of sexual partners, and I'm a little worried, because I want to be opera singer, I have the voice, I have everything to be, however, I worry a little that in the future I throat cancer develops implementing caused by HPV, and that makes me lose my voice.
Avatar n tn t infect the oral cavities anyway for the reasons I mentioned above), and still oral cancer is very rare. Even though HPV can be found in oral cancer, the odds of you getting oral cancer are so low as to not be worth worrying about. If you see something of concern, have it checked out the next time you go to the dentist or doctor. I had them check out what I thought might be a lesion on my tonsils, come to find out they were apparently normal tonislar crypts. Felt a little silly after that one.
Avatar n tn m delighted to hear of the successful therapy of your throat cancer. Your question deals with a topic that I am not familiar with however, I doubt that your prior HPV positive cancer posed a risk for future sexual partners. Let me share my thinking on this topic with you. 1.
3109057 tn?1341701952 The next day I was eating and food got caught in my throat and I had to force myself to vomit. On Wednesday we spent the day at a friend's house in about 100 degree weather as they did not have AC. When I got home my whole left thigh was tingling like crazy and I started to freak out. The next day I was still having symptoms, but my doctor was away, so the on-call doctor suggested I go to the ER.
Avatar f tn Is this normal? One of my friends husbands was diagnosed with throat cancer (now in remission) and I am always worrying this throat irritation will turn into cancer. I am not sure how long I may have had LPR, but for years I was always clearing my throat. The burning sensation started about a month ago.
Avatar m tn Diagnosis is the hardest thing, but remember, thyroid cancer is almost 100% curable. As a sibling, you should also be tested, after I found my cancer, my sister was tested and had the same, another sister is being watched.
Avatar n tn my mother thinks she has throat cancer...i think barretts....since she was little she would always have her stomach acid flow through her throat.....( idon't know if that makes sense, like when she is laying down it flows back into her throat) and so over the years, her throat has suffered from the acid...she also feels pain in her throat...her throat burns everytime she talks and swallows (occasionally). her voice has became rough/scratchy. she also feels a lump in her throat. help me....
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 f tn It helped to calm my fears and he talks about the same article I read which states high strain hpv (not the kind causing warts but the kind causing cervical cancer) is now a big factor in the rise of throat cancer. According to him less than 5% of people with high strain develop throat cancer. I can rest a little better now. Thanks again.
Avatar n tn My husband has/ had throat cancer. He went through kemo and radiation. He is going to tested Fri. to see if treatment worked. He still has very bad breath. Also 2 other spots have shown up too. He also has a large lump on his leg.
Avatar f tn I went to see an ENT and he did a scope (went in through the nose and looked down at the throat), I had a CT of the throat, and an Ultrasound of my thryroid and a Upper GI Series (Barium Swallow). There was nothing he could see from the scoping, the CT came back negative, the Barium swallow showed mild to moderate acid reflux, and the ultrasound showed nodules (which the doc said was nothing to worry about). All in all everything that was done did not show any type of mass or obstruction.
Avatar n tn I suggest you see an Ear nose and throat specialist. They will be able to take a look in your nasal area as well as in your throat. So suggest to your family doctor you would like to see your local specialist.
Avatar m tn Hello I have been having some Throat Tightness, Its a feeling like a choking sensation, it doesn't bother me all of the time just every now and then. I am only 16 years old. Sometimes I have throat pain. I have had this a lot of my life, it comes and goes, sometimes it will stay away as long as a year or so, but somehow it manages to come back. Do you think that this could be some type of cancer of the throat? I did have a lot of sore throats when I was younger.
