@rokinrobin8662 welcome to Head and Neck group. Have you just been monitoring these masses with no diagnostics these 3 years? I would be pushing for biopsies quickly with your new symptoms. You might want to consider asking for referral to a large cancer center or referral hospital if procedures aren’t happening directly. You are your own best advocate with your health so take charge and work with your medical team for answers.

@rokinrobin8662
Have you reached your ENT team? I'd recommend seeing them. Did you get any procedures, treatments? I hope something will work for you.
