Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | Some years ago my brother was convinced he had throat cancer (smoker). He felt some lumps along his throat and had an off and on pain. We finally convinced him to see a doctor and it turned out to be acid reflux.
The acid had irritated the lymph nodes in the neck. Funny thing is, he never had a sour stomach.
