I'm a 24 year old female who doesn't smoke or drink but have had a hoarse voice since I was around 10. It is so hoarse that I cannot shout and even speaking loud makes my voice crack and sometimes brings pain. I went to the doctor as a child and he told me that some people just have weaker voices. I have started to worry recently as my voice has became more weak and I have a constant need to clear my throat. I also have what I believe to be a large swollen lymph node but it's not really a lump, more like a flat but raised surface it that makes sense?? How likely is it that having a hoarse voice for the majority of my life and these symptoms are cancer?
