C, welcome to the site. Sorry you had to find us. Given your situation, I strongly recommend you find an ENT at a major cancer center to evaluate your case. Don't wait for anyone to recommend you go, or refer you to someone, just find a center and call. That way, you will know as soon as possible if you have a problem. And then, what to do to treat it. This is a very unforgiving disease and if it is caught early, it can be defeated, but if it is only treated half-heartedly, it will bite you hard. So get to someone with the experience and skill to fix it. You wouldn't take your transmission problem to a quite oil change center, so go to the expert to check this out. Will pray for your early and successful treatment and cure of the problems.
