He was 67. It was diagnosed by an ENT on a referral from his FNP, . It was also about the size of an egg. He went thru radiation for about 2 months until he was unable to swallow. Throat radiation is the worst. Watching him deteriorate was the worst experience of my life. I was his caretaker and only relative.
