Lump in throat - cancer?
by Ophelia23, Dec 09, 2008 01:50PM
In August and July, I got strep throat and then mononucleosis (my doctors think...), which kicked my butt pretty bad - exhaustion, fevers, and my throat so swollen and sore I could not speak for 2 weeks.
My throat is healing, very slowly, but now I have noticed a lump in the back of my throat. When I open my mouth, you can see, on the left side back wall of my throat, a walnut-sized lump pressing against the skin. Some times the lump seems smaller, other times it seems bigger. I have visited throat specialists and they have not even commented on it.
I'm just curious to hear if this sounds like thyroid cancer. I am 19-year-old caucasian female, so I am in the risk group :x Thanks!

Maybe someone else would have an idea what this is.
I asked my throat doctor to look at, but my tonsils are such a mess that he didn't even notice it. I think it might be an abcess (abscess) or a swollen lympth node. I don't have any other abnormally large lymph nodes anywhere else on my body, though, which may be good or bad.
