I have a question, how long would it normally take for cancer of the neck to show symptoms such as pain or a visible lump. I have had pain for around 3 to 4 months now since I got a bad flu but I have been having a mild feeliing of something being in my throat ( very minor) for upwards of 8 or 9 months. If it were cancer would'nt it normally be much more troubling by now. Just wondering as I have another week before I get to see my ent again for a follow up. He is also a head and neck surgeon so thats good I think and last appt. He said he didn't see anything that worried him but i"ve heard most everybody has been told that prior to a diagnosis lol.
Thanks for putting up with me yet again!
