Have a very slight discomfort swallowing, not painful just a minor irritant

Do I have throat cancer?

No, just feels like a lump of mucus stuck at top of throat and if I had a proper hack it would come up

As of tomorrow, was supposed to be today as back from holiday but then realised I have a work piss up tonight, so was never going to happen.

Well, at some point it will burst and release a heady mixture of blood and pus.

In your throat.

Does that sound bad to you?
