Hi Larry - I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My own diagnosis came because I presented to my primary care physician, reporting bleeding from the back of my throat. I never had a sustained episode of bleeding but I was spitting out an occasional blood clot so I asked him to take a look at it.

You've taken the first step. The next steps will involve diagnosis, via that biopsy, then, if it is cancer, staging and treatment. Good luck. I hope it is not cancer, but if it is, it might be curable. The treatments are not easy, but we have all endured them and you will be able to as well. We're here to help you get through it.
