 Joined:  Sep 2008 Posts: 130 |  On Monday I went to my regularly scheduled appointment with my ENT.  I was perpared to drive 60 miles one way for a 10 minute appointment.  Talk about the trush I'd been fighting for the last two weeks and leave.  This is not how it turned out at all.He found a spot that was not there six weeks ago.  He was able to do a biopsy.  I'm not sure how he got into my mouth.  My trimus has gotten worse over the last few weeks.  (I guess that was another sign)  He told me while I was in the office that he didn't think it was going to be very good at all.
 On Wednesday, while clothes shopping with my 15 year old I got the call.  It's possitive.  As of right now, my schedule looks like this  I have a CT on Monday the 24th, a follow up the with ENT on Tuesday and surgery on the 31st.  I don't know what kind of surgery or what will be done.  To tell the truth at this point I don't even know if there's a point to doing the surgery.  We'll know more after the scans come back.
