The "ultrasound guided neck biopsy" sounds like the sounds like the Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration, FNAB, which is a biopsy of a tissue sample taken from a lymph(s), and is highly accurate to identify metastatic cancer, and is considered a further diagnostic examination. I probably had 8 of them. It's a rather quick, painless procedure done mainly by a pathologist, sometimes ENT. The pathologist will look at the sample under the microscope, and can usually tell if it's cancer or not, and send it out for further histological pathology, and confirmation. My pathologist at my hospital told me on the spot it was SCC metastases, and my ENT had to speak with me, which was no surprise to us. Another pathologist at another place said it was "interesting", which I knew what that probably meant, and results were back the next day. Good luck with yours.

Poor you Paul. Sounds like you have really been through the mill. Great to hear you are currently ned and lets hope you will never have to go through this again. Still waiting on the biopsy results. The neck ultrasound i just procedure so my worry was unfounded but very nervous to get mouth biopsy results. Just wrote a post about nicotine lozenges. I used them for two whole years and they brought me out in canker sores all the time which went away thankfully but now im thinking oh my could they be related to what im going through now with this ulcer. I have been run down so perhaps a reason for ulcer but otherwise, i never get ulcers really. Also its an odd location, right in floor of mouth under tongue.
