It's not an easy road to travel, but if it is cancer everyone here is awesome as they have been through it all... Some several times. So you Won't be alone. With regards to the ENT... It would be rediculous not to biopsy it. If he refuses - which I highly doubtt, go somewhere else... Get it done... For your own peace of mind if nothing else. And it's a good thing you are on top of it. Don't let anyone tell you no. Advocate for yourself and educate yourself. Many prayers for you that you don't have this disease... Take care and good luck.
