I had my tonsil removed and part of my tongue due to cancer.  I also had a neck dissection where they removed 35 lymph nodes.  All were benign. Needles to say the surgery and recovery were a nightmare but I feel good and have not needed to get any treatment. Two months after the surgery I began teaching my classes again and have my energy back.  But I am once again feeling as if I have a lump in the surgery area.  I met with a surgeon and he did a fiber optio laryngoscopy on my.  I was able to see the video of the inside of my throat.  My surgeon saw nothing and simply said I was healing well.  My question is - if I am healing well why do I still feel as if I have something stuck in my throat?  I am so frustrated because I feel it constantly.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks.
