It sounds like you have a very sore throat and it's inflammed, therefore a bit swollen which makes you feel like things are getting stuck. Maybe it's your tonsils? Or maybe you irritated the esophagus on something sharp when you swallowed. I did that one time while eating pork chops. There are sometimes small bone fragments in chops. I didn't notice one until after I swallowed. I was sure that it was lodged sideways in my throat. It wasn't. But it sure felt like it. Another time I went to a restaurant and ordered a Diablo Lobster dish. OMG it was hot!!! I had 3 bites and I had burns in my mouth and throat from it. Blisters too. My throat was sore and bled for days.
Anyway, I doubt very much you have cancer. Try gargling with warm salt water (warm tap water mixed with salt so that the salt doesn't dissolve anymore), and gargle several times a day. Give your throat a rest and drink non acidic fluids (try and avoid juices like orange, citrus, pineapple, cranberry and their associated fruits). Try a soft diet low in spices, instead of things you have to chew up (toast is not considered soft, but plain bread is

). If you have steak, mince it into
small pieces and eat smaller bites and chew more.
