I'm sorry you're going through this. I know in the beginning it's push and shove to get through to the medical people. For some reason they think they know your body better than you do. I'm going through that with my new GP right now and if he keeps it up I'm going to ditch him.
I had tongue cancer it's different than throat or tonsil because there was a lump we all saw.
My suggestion is to go to a ENT Surgeon or an Oral Surgeon for a biopsy. I would demand a PET/CT Scan, MRI or whatever needed to have peace of mind.
Concerning feeling something stuck in your throat I had the same feeling I was told it's Acid Reflux. I'm taking Nexium daily and the feeling is gone. Over the counter meds didn't work, of course, the expensive Nexium did.
Others on the forum will reply who have more information on what to do.
I hope you get answers soon. Take care,
Connie
