Cancer Or Unrelated Symptoms? Posted: 06-21-05 23:48pm
I have a strange feeling tingling
sensation on the left side of my face, jaw
and sometimes the left side of my neck.
My left tonsil is bigger then my right and
has craters in them that seems to change.
My doctor said that is normal. I feel two
lymph nodes on my left side of the neck
that are larger then the ones on my right
side. Doc says that is normal. A
clicking in my left jaw. I have swollen
something on my left side of the face only
noticable by touch. Dentists thinks its
nothing. I think it may be a saliva
gland. Sometimes my tongue gets white and
I have to brush it clean. I have sleep
apnea and i'm getting a machine for that
next month. I have a constant dry cough
and sometimes when I breath I hear a
rumbling in my throat. Thats why I cough
to clear it. There seems to be hard
cartilage on the left side of my throat
when I feel there. I also feel strange
sensations on the back of my head, left
shoulder, left side of my trunk, and left
groin. And I think hemmroids or bleeding
when I wipe. Sometimes my face and ears
will get red and hot. I have some fungal
thing with my skin when I tan that will
leave white spots. I'm a 30 year old male
and I have had these symptons for about 5
years. I also use to dip snuff for ten
years. Now is this all tied together?
Is it allergies? Is it all in my head and
i'm just getting older? Or my biggest
fear, could this be cancer? The doctors
I have seen always tell me I should'nt be
concern and never test for anything. If
so why do I feel like this and why dont
there tell me what is wrong? Please tell
me what you think it might be or a list of
questions I should ask my doctor the next
time I see him.

Ok, a few problems there... Let's see
what I can tell you.
Depending on how much your thinking about
all your problems and anything else that
might affect it, have you thought of
'stress', 'worry', 'anxiety'. Ask
yourself this, are you in a stressful job,
stressful home life? If thats not whats
upsetting you then asked you doctor if you
could have a wheat allergy or a full
allergy test conducted to find out if
theres any problems there. If you want to
be tested for various different things to
put your mind at rest then tell the
doctors you want to be tested. It doesnt
sound like anything serious to me but if
you experiencing these different things
then make sure you get suitable tests
conducted. Ask doctor to check blood
pressure and ask for a urine test to be
done to make sure sugar and protein aswell
as things like iron and vitamin levels are
all at the level they should be, and
cholestrol. I really do think you are
focusing on many bad aspects of your body
and it sounds like you need to focus on
something other than these ''problems''.
You dont say that you are in pain so that
is the main thing. Anyway sorry I couldnt
provide more details... Go have some
tests done and be sure to let me know how
they go. Best of luck.
