Tonsils throat cancer

I am new to this form. I Don’t have Cancer. I have been having problems with the feeling of something in my throatleft side for 4 weeks. 

I had this problem 5 years ago and convinced myself I had throat cancer. Went to ENT several times having scope put trough my nose to look at throat. I requested a ct then which came back showing abnormal tissue. My ENT ordered a  Lyrandscopy and endoscopy and biopsy of tissue. Thank the good lord all came back B9.

i am 57 female and smoked 1/2 pack for many years. I quit 3 days ago. Very hard I must say. Dr told me I had silent acid Reflux. He even said I should have my tonsils removed. I didn’t want to have this done as it it harder on Adults and if it wasn’t cancer I would be fine living with the  sensation of something in my throat once in a while . I comes and goes after a week or so. Until about 4 weeks ago. 

My question is: has anyone had this happen? What symptoms did you have with your cancers? 

If 6 years ago things where B9 could that change? 

Should I be worried?

  • Hello, 

    Thank you for posting.  I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you feel your problems are persisting.  Unfortunately, we cannot help you get a diagnosis.  Only a doctor can diagnose you.  If you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor or if you feel you would like to have another check up 6 years on, you may want to consider getting a second opinion. You can find out more about this here.  

    I hope you find the reassurance you need 

    Best wishes,
