 Posted: 08/06/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Lump In Neck/throat |
  |
|
hey,
I am male, 34 and found a small lump in my neck, right above my colar bone. It is hard to touch, very small and I feel no pain when I touch it. It isn’t visible, I feel it when I squeeze the skin around it, that is how I noticed it. I heard that people get some kind of neck or throat cancer because lumps emerge in their throats. I am really concerned because of this. Do you think I have cancer? Nobody in family has it, so is it possible that I do?

Hey!
Of course it is possible you are the first in family that has cancer. Cancer is not only “hereditary” . it is very hard to say whether you have cancer or not, this should be examined by specialist, but there is a chance you have it, since as you said, throat cancer is caused by little lumps in throat. On the other side, this could be just a benign (not cancerous) cysts in your neck. These cysts are not dangerous and mostly are not even removed. Please note, that I do not have medical education! In every case, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!! As soon as possible! Wish you the best!

Please let us know that you went to have this checked out. I had the same symptom (plus some others that I chose to ignore) and was diagnosed with Lymphoma in May. Am finishing up my last radiation treatments this week, after also having chemo. It was a rough summer.
Pleas donot ignore the symptoms - hopefully it is not cancer, but you never know until you get it checked. I never in a million years would have suspected cancer. |

I had the very same thing, and no-one in my family had cancer either. It ending up growing at a fast rate within weeks and turned out to be after a biopsy, Hodgkins lymphoma,
Systoms i experience to develope the level was nightsweats, itchiness, loss of appettite, fatigue etc,, make sure you kee and eye on it if it gets larger. Take care and let us know how you go. |

hi,
iv been looking round on the net reading over all these symptoms etc with the lump on the neck and it seems like many people get it. just 3 days ago i noticed i had a lump on the back of my neck to the left hand side, i remember having it before though it went away within a few weeks, i never went to see a doctor then and am debating weither to visit now, Iv only just turned 19 and it really worrying, more so because a friend said it mite be cancerous and my dad died of cancer just 4 years ago.. i would be grateful for a a little bit of advice on the matter... |
