Thank you for caring responses. The ENT performed a microdirect laryngoscopy with biopsy today. Prior to the procedure he told us the CT Scan showed an enlarged lymph node. He talked to a oncologist about our case and said if the tests come back positive for cancer they will prescribe radiation. The earliest we will hear will be Thursday or Friday (3-4 days from now). After the procedure the doctor told me the base of his tongue is hard which I guess leads him to believe its a tumor. He also said he has spoke with a radiation oncologist to start the process because it could take a week or two to get in. If it comes back negative or he has an infection which is our best case scenario we can cancel the appointment. I'm really happy this doctor is so proactive and certainly appreciate it. More waiting...
