Hi, Just wanted you to know I had every oral cancer symptom in the book much like yours but w/out a specific lump...felt like a piece of glass lodged in my throat....saw 13 doctors...in the hospital 2x due to pain...2 teeth removed, and countless tests. Not Cancer, but what it is??? 13 doctors and no one knows. Over the span of 4 months, the symptoms are very slowly going away. No diagnosis and frustration doesn't begin to describe my life. I've just decided that I don't have oral cancer and have to live with the remaining neck/ear/throat pain, until it mysteriously goes away OR blows up into something recognizable to lackadaisical doctors. I feel for you, and hope you can close that door for the time being. You don't want to lose all that time worrying, perhaps for nothing. Good luck!
