He has sceduled me for removal and a biopsy. I am a 40 year old female.that smokes. I am now having collar bone pain on the oppoite side. In the mean time, with the hoarseness, I have had some ear pain, but ears are fine. Not sure what is going on. any ideas.
Hi. This can be either a cancer or some inflammatory mass. CT scan or MRI and FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology to start with should help to get diagnosis. IF this is cancer you may need a laryngectomy. IF inflammatory simple repeated aspiration and broad spectrum antibiotics should help to get you a cure. Always go for investigations before any surgery.
