Hi all,


It has been a while, Bob has a doctor's appt. on tues. We haven't said anything to faimly,but Bob has a lump on the right side of his throat. We are hoping it is just an infection of some kind. He had me feel it about 3 weeks ago, I was hoping it would be gone by the time we had this appt. no such luck.

My question is, if they do a biopsy on this will it be a needle one and not involve surgery? If so, is it something the ENT can do right then and not wait to schedule it?



Thanks

Deb
