Your posting caught my eye. I was diagnosis with IIIb lung cancer along with it behind my esphogus and some nodes. I've been having a lt of severe sore throat and trouble swallowing, food gets stuck and it seems like it don't go down. But when ENT looks own my throat she saids everything is fine. I w just wondering what kind for issues u have and if you have or had cancer there?
