thanks for everyones help and advice,i let you know how things go.x.
Hi,
The infection under discussion is likely an infection in the throat. Infections within the lung may be promoted by lung conditions like emphysema, but they would not likely present with a lump in the throat.
The odds of the cancer returning are best answered by her doctors. Depending on size of the original cancer and how extensive it was, the odds of recurrence can be estimated. If it is only a span of 4 months, and there are minimal symptoms to suggest an infection (such as fever), then the likelihood that this is cancer becomes higher.
A trial of antibiotics sounds reasonable. Stay positive.
