Andrew,

Go back and read again the "Draft Copy" in the Getting through it project forum. This way you can get familiar with the biopsy and what lies ahead. As Deb said, the next 2-4 weeks will be busy for you in appointments and gathering information.

My ENT also took me to the operating table to do my biopsy. He told me it was better for him to get a good look around in there and down my throat. It appears to be standard procedure. After the biopsy a plan will be developed for treatment.

Keep us updated as we are here for you and will guide you along. Posting and questions or concerns.
