Well, any lump that appears anywhere on the body needs to be checked.
Even if it turns out to be cancer, early detection is one of the most important things related to successful cancer treatment.
Doctors say that if we lived long enough, we would all get some kind of cancer.
This may not be cancer. Lumps in throat (or sensation of lumps) often appear due to stress and anxiety or it could be your thyroid gland.
I don't think you should be postponing your appointment any longer, have this over with and you will have one worry less on your mind.
