Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 A work colleagues of mine had several lumps coming up around her throat and neck area - she always had a sore throat and they were sore - apparently they were swollen lymph nodes and she had the one in her throat surgically removed, the scar is hardly visible and she feels 100% better - it was quite large - slightly smaller than a tennis ball - not malignant - she says other members of her family had the same problem ....... she tried a few alternative treatments but they did not work fast enough. They should be able to tell if it is benign by blood tests - better than biopsy. This is a success story but not the way you wanted. Best, JAne " thesitesfamily " <dhcsites OK, I have had this lump in my throat for many years now- Dr. says not sure what it is, ct scan says not cancer? how do you tell? It is in my lymph gland this much I do know ( DR not sure where it is)- it swells up when I get a head cold, allergies etc. and it Hurts! it puts pressure on my teeth(had one pulled thinking that was the origional problem). anyhoo... no Dr. will biopsy it- what do ya reccommend now. I have tried essiac, de worming, raw foods diet, no sugar, no caffine, no processed foods, I am in pretty good shape for my 41 years. and I do not smoke, drink or do drugs! aughhh!!! I felt better when I did! he he. Any suggestions to helping reduce the swelling? It makes the skin of my neck itch and causes me to cough at times. If I had a syrenge I would have poked at it myself, it hurts that much. So anything you throw my way is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
