Lyman Durwood is concerned. He's been having trouble swallowing. He's plagued by recurring nightmares. His priorities are in dire need of reshuffling. He also has a bit more cancer than he'd like... The second volume of "Throat" sees Lyman acclimating to cancer treatment whilst carrying on a not-so-romantic entanglement with Gym Girl, a troubled woman whose own personal demons gradually make themselves known.
