Sore throat and lump on tongue

Hi
I commenced Radiopherapy a few weeks ago, up to treatment 15 and have 10 more sessions left. I also commenced taking Tamoxifen 6 weeks ago. For about over a week now, I have been experiencing a dry throat and have also noticed a lump on my tongue.
Has any one else had this happen to them? Not sure if it is the effects or radiotherapy or the tamoxifen. 
I have made an appointment to see an ear, nose & throat (ENT) specialist.
  • Have you spoken to your GP or radio-oncologist about this?  Might be worth checking in with them before seeing an ENT specialist.
