Q: Bulemia And Throat Cancer

asked by: HopAngel3 on December 1st, 2006

I have been struggling with bulemia for almost 10 years now. Well off and on for 10 years. My doctor knows and so does my fiancee. For the last few days, my throat has been hurting really bad, also with a very bad hoarse voice and only getting worse. Usually after I do the whole bulemia thing, that night my neck feels weird. I'm just really worried that I might have some kind of cancer. I read a few places that the acid can cause some kind of cancer. I believe it was throat. Is this true? Does anyone else have these symptoms?

i dont know that ive heard it causing cancer but the bile and stomach acids brought up everytime u purge can do significant damage to your esophagus and cause it to develope like ulcers and such. Have u been seeking treatment for your eating disorder?? If not I would, sounds like uve done considerable damage to your body already.
