If you're lucky its state I-III. Those have high survival rates, 60-90% of sufferers survive for 5 years.

Nordstrom has a good point. Second doctors over monitor older people. Just because she is always at the doctors having tests done does not mean much - she might be diabetic or something else. if you are that worried you need to ask her - she will at least appreciate that you are that concerned with her. If she does have cancer - even if it is one of the more manageable kinds I sure wish the best for her and just PM me if you need a shoulder to cry on.

well good luck and see her and speak to her as much as you can, she's gonna need all her family and friends alot right now
my mom has small cell lung cancer and the tumor grew so fast, it was pushing on her heart and would have killed her if they had'nt of gotten control of the growth in time. about 6 or 7 mos ago they figured she had about 12 to 20 mo's to live (according to stats)
We just found out yesterday (from a pet scan) that the tumor is now gone, thanks to the radiation, chemo therapy and alot of praying
Good luck to you both. Be with her anyway, Wether she is sick or not. WHY NOT.

I hope your mom turns out ok. I will pray she lives a long healthy life and her cancer gets beaten. As a guy, as most guys, I think we are closest to our moms, so you must be in a lot of pain right now. (just ask any guy who served in war who they cry out for when they are dying or close to it). But try to stay strong because she needs that.
I think you should go see her right away. Give her lots of hugs and kisses too because mommies love that.
Btw, Cancer is my number 1 hated disease. I think we all know of somebody who died of it, in fact we probably know or heard of more than just one person dying of cancer. It seems to have no boundaries and has no problem trying to take anybodies life.

I'm praying for you and your family! Go see her and make admends now. Have a relationship with her now and be there for her no matter the reason you have not talked in a long time. If something was to happen you won't regret anything and if everything is okay in the end, you have a relationship with her!

I don't know many people who haven't had cancer affect their lives in some way.
Gonelifting had some good advice when he said to go see you mom regardless of whether or not she really does have cancer.
btw~My aunt was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago or so, maybe longer. I believe it was breast cancer, and through chemo and meds she is pretty much fully recovered.
Good luck.

http://www.emedicine.com/ is also good.
The epiglotis is that sort of flap that keeps food from going down the breathing passage. So the 3 types of throat cancer are:
Supraglotis -- above the glotis--base of the tounge etc.
Glotis--in the middle section of throat.
Subglotis--cancer that originates below the glotis and above the colarbone.
I went through chemo / radiation about a year ago and feel fine now.
chemo once a week IV drip for 6 weeks, radiation 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks, but I was in drug trial that alowed me to endure 8 weeks, the outermost maximum of radiation. (colony stimulating factor-immunotherapy)
The next county over uses surgery instead of radiation for most throat cancers. I saw those people post surgery, and have to say that they looked disfigured and in a lot of long term pain, just my opinion.
No guarantee, but very slightly better percentages with surgery and
radiation. The chemo by itself doesn't do much, but helps the radiation be more effective.
Most patients were 60+ years old heavy smokers, but there were 2 strikingly beautiful women in their 20's who were in shock that they had it. Sorry to be cliche and simplistic, but I feel thier and my cause was mostly psychological, letting people put us on a short leash, swallowing too many lies etc. PM me if you have any questions.

Sorry to hear that man!
Think positive and only good things will happen! Stay strong, if not for you, then for your mother.
