Thank you PaulB and Susan2992 for your responses. I am trying not to scare myself but I was concerned when my dentist insisted I needed to have the growth checked at my last visit. Of course I didn't make the appointment right away not until my left ear started ringing and my throat started bothering me.I pray I don't need to join your group but its nice to know there is someone that understands my concerns.
BTW I am not a smoker and have never smoked.
