Hi,i m sudhir from patna,bihar and i want to ask about my 86 yr old father. About 10 months ago my father felt trouble in swelling any thing then he consulted different doctors and took it lightly but the problem continued.After regular trouble and no improvement he consulted ent dr. and was sent for endoscopy and after that he was found a cymptom of cancer in throat(swelling portion ).there was not visible symptoms or sign there.
