The symptoms I have had that started with a feeling of a sore throat and something in my throat are still there. The sore throat would come and go before and know it is there everyday and is more like a pain than a sore throat feeling. Also, I feel something in the back left side of my mouth, not so much in my throat, but around were my uvula hangs down. I think it is my left tonsil.
I have been going back to my local ENT for a monthly follow up and he does scope me and says he does not see anything abnormal. When I had a barium swallow done after my initial ct scan it stated that my tonsils were slightly enlarged.

The ENT stated that the only other test he would suggest is a ct/pet scan. But, he does not think my insurace would cover it.

If this was a cancer would there be other symptoms or some type of change by know? I have had this going on for six months know. Also, is it possible for there to be pain without the ENT being able to see a growth?
