It has definitely increased in size, and now have two smaller lumps below this one. Difficulty swallowing, hoarse voice. Productive cough producing dark grey to black centers. Very tired, weak. Sometimes sudden bouts of morning vomiting. Severe burning in throat. Any suggestions? I do not know how to get the doctor to check it out. Thank you Sorry folks, not too together today. Extremely weak, and tired. | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 | Okay I responded to your other post but you sound seriously bad off so feel free to ignore that response and go to the ER NOW! And make an appointment to see your family Dr. tomorrow. If you don't have a family dr. call the hospital they have a list of drs that are taking on new patients or ask a friend or family member if they know a good one. please don't leave this any longer... but do read my other reply... and BTW you posted in the right place to begin with.
good luck!

I would suggest you need to be seen ASAP one way or the other. And I doubt any doctor will blow your symptoms off. As others on this board have said, it isn't cancer until the biopsy says its cancer but I'd sure want that lymph node biopsied quickly. Best of luck. Post again to let us know how you are.
