Afraid it’s back..
Been in remission from EC for about 2 1/2 years. Beat it back with just chemo and proton radiation from Mayo Clinic. But now I’ve developed a small lump I can feel in the back of my throat. Having a CT scan this week but my gut feeling is that it is back. I know I should be more positive but what else would it be ? Don’t know if I have enough strength at 73 for another fight.

Hi Eric,
A feeling of a "lump" in the back of your throat could be many things, Globus is a symptom that can make you feel like you have a lump in your throat. It is also called 'globus sensation'. Globus can be caused by many things, such as an increased tension of muscles or irritation in the throat. I am not sure a CT scan is the best approach to identify the issue. Have they considered an endoscopy to investigate?
I hope you get good news from your tests. If it is back, you beat it the first time, there is reason for hope to beat it again, particularly with new immunotherapy approaches.
Best Regards,
Paul A.
