Hello! I am posting this regarding my boyfriend. He has place on his throat that has been there for a few months. He says it does not really bother him he just noticed it when he was brushing his teeth one day. I am a nurse and I looked at it once and evidentaly thought he was over-reacting about it. It is still there and I haven't been able to get him to go to the doctor.

He had a nephew (13) that passed away last year with cancer. He doesn't want to go to the MD for fear that it will be cancer. I told him yesterday to describe it to me so here is his description: It is about the size of a pimple and reminds him of a blood blister. It is located on the throat, the area that would be red and blistered with strep throat.

I am just looking for some answer or something to make him feel better.

Hi there

I am surprised that a nurse even has to ask this question. The only way to get an answer, one way or another, is to go and see the doctor. If it were to be cancerous, it wouldn't go away just because you ignore it.

GET YOUR BUNS DOWN TO THE QUACK, NOW!!!

yea, I agree just because someone (a doctor) doesn't say it is cancer does not mean it is NOT......he needs to go - better safe than sorry - not the time to shove the head in the sand....my dad thought his issue was nothing adn it turned out to be satge IV but he is now being treated - TREATABLE AND BEATABLE!!
