Dear Kathy,
Please go to a doctor as soon as you can. If its cancer the sooner you get it taken care of the better the outcome. I have had lung cancer in 2000 and 2003. I had throat cancer they went down my throat to cut it out with a loco spray to numb it. I had 45 days of radiation doing very good now the worst was a sore throat for long time. Now if they could do something for emphysema I could do every thing I did about 65 years ago. ha ha. Realy get out and do it you will be glad you did. (p.s. it may be nothing).
God bless you,
Vonnie
