Ask your question | Share your throat cancer story
I am the author of Metastatic Liver Cancer – How you share the cancer of your loved one.
If you are like me and you or your loved one gets cancer: you start looking on the Internet for answers, the latest treatments and similar cancer stories. We want to make your search a bit easier since time is suddenly overly precious.
Please ask any question that’s on your mind about cancer and we will answer you or find another cancer story that relates to your question.
Make sure you ask your doctor any question that comes through your mind and when they answer like what they did with us: "stop reading the Internet about cancer"… make sure you devote your time wisely with your loved one. Once he sleeps because the cancer does take away their energy, make sure you sleep enough yourself or use that time to surf the Internet.
Save some time buying the recommended cancer books,especially the Guaranteed Method For Beating Cancer, as it comes with a money back guarantee… You will find too many people trying to promise you cancer treatments you never heard of: make sure you only step into those that offer a money guarantee! (not many will do, cancer is not the easiest disease to cure…)

Read our answer at Throat cancer signs and symptoms.
I have a small knot right under my chin and my throat feels like something is stick in it. I’m very scared that its cancer. I’m only 18 and don’t smoke or drink.it seems like my sinus but I’m still vey scared. Could it be cancer or just my sinus?
In January 2009, I was diagnosed with throat cancer. I went to see the ENT to find out what I could do to remedy my snoring which was getting louder and louder. The ENT looked at me and checked my throat and then my lymph nodes on the side of my neck. He asked how long my lymph nodes had been swollen and I told him I did not know they were swollen. I asked if this was bad and he told me that it could be cancer and he needed to take a biopsy which he did.
A few days later he got the results back and I did have cancer. He immediately lined me up with my radiation and chemo doctors and I went to visit them.
I had to have some teeth pulled before I could start radiation which I did and the doctor gave my mouth time to heal before treatments started. I had 35 treatments of radiation and 6 of chemo. The radiation really made me weak and burned my neck and head but after my treatments it went away rather quickly. I lost most but not all my hair from the chemo but it has grown back.
I lost about 50 lbs while undergoing treatment and had a feeding tube placed in my stomach which basically kept my weight level. I did not eat by mouth for almost 9 months and really missed the taste of food. I recommend anyone who goes through these treatments to keep eating and drinking even though it hurts your throat because if you do not use the muscles in your throat, it is hard to get back to eating.
Now, other than some scar tissue in my throat, I am back to normal eating. I have to eat slowly and chew my food well but I can eat most of anything I want.
I did spend most of 2009 off work and just came back to work this the first week of January 2009. I tried to come back after my treatments but I was not ready physically and mentally. Thank goodness I work for a company and people who took care of me and helped me all they could.
If any one has any questions or comments, I would be glad to talk to you. Some of you may find comfort in talking to someone who has been through this.
