having surgery to remove a 'cyst' found at the base of my tongue, down my throat. Had a couple tubes stuck up my nose to look down in my throat and saw a big lump that is blocking my airway. I am not to concerned but I have some ongoing unanswered pain and swelling for years that I hope this is the resolution too. I have no time for this shit, I have a daughter and husband to raise! HA! Stay strong!
