throat cancer info

I was diagnosed w/Barrett's esophagus last summer. My specialist told me to come back in 3 years and be re-tested to see if it had returned to normal. Can your esophagus ever be normal again? I think my doc's a quack! He only prescribed Zantac 150 3x's a day, and told me I could continue to drink coffee all day long (I'm a 6 cupper) and drink alcohol at night (which I've been doing), My primary care dr.

I have all of those symptons and have been diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal (silent acid reflux). I am beter since taking Prilosec and getting a bed wedge to sleep on. There is a danger of throat cancer if this is not taken care of. It is important to eliminate the foods that cause the acid. Hope this helps. Good luck.

But am wondering if your doctor agrees that is a suspicion or if you feel that way on your own? Here is info on throat cancer. https://www.medicinenet.com/larynx_cancer/article.htm Remember though, it's rare. And symptoms listed for many cancers are actually common things we have that you rule out first.

Penile cancer accounts for less than .2% of cancers in men in the united States. It accounts for 10% of cancers in men in the developing world. This leads me to beleive that factors other than HPV are really important. And it is such a low risk, it really isn't worth worrying about.

I had types a question about HPV in Yahoo Answers and I just received this info...not so sure I am so confident about the body "keeping it in check" anymore... Not sure where she gotten this info, but it seems/sounds factual. UAB Researchers Make Breakthrough Discovery of HPV ReplicationPosted on March 15, 2004 at 4:00 p.m. UAB Researchers have discovered the mechanism used by a common virus to replicate and remain in the human body for decades.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Despite all the publicity in recent years about one HPV type (HPV 16) causing throat cancer, that remains a rare problem and even in people with oral HPV 16 infection, the large majority don't get cancer. Based on this question and the one you asked last month on the herpes expert forum, you seem somewhat overly concerned about STD transmission by mouth or through other non-sexual routes. Such infections are extremely rare if they occur at all. Don't worry about it.

Aha, ha-ha! b9 = benign: not cancer. I'm not the sharpest tool in the box tonight.

From what I understand if this was not the only site, this is a fatal cancer with little or no treatment options. Is it safe to give the Host Defense supplemt which is supposed to raise immunity in some cases 300%? I also saw something that in elevating immunity, the B-cells are involved. If the cancer was a B-cell lymphoma, would the supplement cause the activation or speeding up of this type of cancer? Please, I am looking fro treatment options.

Hi... this all has come on so fast, in 3 weeks a lump has shown up in my throat and my instincts told me to get checked asap. Went to the dr, got an ultrasound and blood work, diagnosed with multinodular goiter, large 3cm cyst on one lobe along with solid and cystic nodules all over. My blood work came back within normal ranges. I went to an endocrinologist and he told me sounds like hyperthyroidism, but also scheduled me for a fine needle aspiration this week.
