i dont have throat cancer but here are some symptoms....Common throat cancer symptoms include a lump or sore that does not heal, a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing and a change or hoarseness in the voice. Additional symptoms may include difficulty breathing or speaking, frequent headaches or generalized pain in the throat region.

Being diagnosed with cancer, such as throat cancer, can be a very sobering and frightening experience. But there is hope!

Answer 2

The alternative names for throat cancer are: vocal cord cancer, laryngeal cancer, cancer of the glottis, or cancer of the pharynx. The risks of developing throat cancer increased if you are a frequent user of alcohol, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. Cancer of the throat involves tumors on the tonsils, vocal cords, voice box (larynx) and at the base of the tongue.

The earlier throat cancer is diagnosed, the better the prospect of recovery. The symptoms of throat cancer are often confused with less serious conditions. Listed below are some common symptoms you may notice:

A hoarseness or other unusual changes in the voice
A lump on the lip, in the mouth, or in the throat
A sore on the lip or inside the mouth that does not heal for weeks
A white or red patch on the gums, tongue, or the lining in the mouth
Unexplained pain, bleeding, or numbness inside the mouth
A sore throat that persist even with antibiotics
Experiencing pain or difficulty in chewing or swallowing
Pain or swelling of the jaw
A persistent cough
Cough up blood
Pain or swelling of the neck
A continual earache
Unintentional weight loss
Abnormal (high-pitched) breathing sounds
If you experience any of the above throat cancer symptoms it is advised that you see your healthcare provider for a more thorough check so the proper diagnose and treatment can be apply.

Answer 3

The website for the Mayo Clinic is an excellent one. I suggest you use it. Someone else mentioned a sore throat. Most cancers are painless in the early stages so if you have a sore throat, it may be at a more advanced stage. The symptoms are mostly visual -- a discolored area, an open sore, a white patch, a raised red area, bleeding for apparent reason -- abnormalities that don't go away. If for any reason you believe you may have cancer (smoker and/or drinker) please see a dentist or doctor right away for a proper screening. No website is a substitute for this.

Answer 4

Hi, I am a fourth stage cancer survivor. My symptoms began with really bad earaches and suddenly one day I found it difficult to swallow any liquid or food. It subsided in about a days time and was back to normal. The earaches persisted and then my voice began to change and reached a point where it was so hoarse that one could hardly understand what I was talking about. These cancers - larynx etc. are called lucky cancers as they do not spread so fast as cancer cells need a lot of blood supply which is not so prominent in the throat. It is treatable but can also do irreparable damage - loosing your voice, breathing through your throat are some of them.

Answer 5

My friend did. She was visiting me in November and said she felt something like a kernel of corn lodged in her throat and couldn't move it. She saw a doctor and he said leave it for a bit - so she did and then she felt it was growing so she went back and they did whatever tests they had to do and she had surgery within days. They took the cancer and she had radiation therapy and felt great when it was all done. Only problem was she struggled to eat solid foods afterward.
