Angel, I see you had a Pet Scan. To only my knowledge I have only seen people have a Pet Scan after treatments I just had mine ( all Clear ). But I can be wrong. Also my ENT told me that even if my tumor was not cancer he was removing it no matter what. Every doctor is so different. Maybe your doctor knows he needs to do surgery no matter what so why put you through a biospy. I don't want to confuse you anymore then what you already are. So much to take in we all know that. But I never thought I would be on here sharing what I know like so many did for me. Just take a deep breathe and you will get through.
