Many different symptoms, for 2 1/2 months now, night sweats was the 1st sign (6

[noodle]

mos.ago), afraid of cancer? Ear infection the 1st wk of Jan, took an antibiotic~it came back after about 2 wks, went back to the Dr. the 2nd wk of Feb & had another ear infection, took antibiotics again. Went back to the Dr. March 10th, with what I thought was another ear infection, alot of pressure/fluid in my ears, pain in my ears, really swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, hurts to swallow & my neck all the way around is sore & tender. Running a normal tempature sometimes, but get cold-clammy & then other times I'll start chilling~getting hot & then cold, & had a temp 2 days ago of 100.3. I've looked on the internet & it comes back to throat/mouth cancer. The only symptom of that, that I don't have is I hoarse voice, but today woke up with my voice definitely different than normal. He gave me Alegra-D to see if that helps, so far after 3,12- hour doses, it's not doing anything. Doc told me to make an appt. w/ an ENT & he wants to see me again in 7 days. My dad had lymphoma & cancer is prominent in his family.???
The March 10th visit to the Dr. showed NO infection anywhere (sinuses included), just fluid build up in my ears. Throat a little red. (Since yesterday can't eat any solid foods. Afraid of choking, can barely get my pills down (Tylenol, Advil & Allegra-D) they get stuck, like there's a lump in my throat.) He was hesitant, but I insisted on a strep test. That should be back in today; JUST called, it's not back yet. : ( I did post this on "other - diseases", but didn't get many responses, so re-posted in this category) Thanks and please no mean responses.
Thanks Janeway~and no, he's not aware of my family history w/ cancer. I will tell him, when I see him on Monday the 17th. Or maybe I should tell them when they call me back w/ the strep results???????? I also forgot to tell the Doc about the night sweats! Not feeling well, not thinking right.
