Michele,

The CT scan should help. There is also a thing called a PET scan that you can ask about.

I think you might want to look for another ENT you can get a second opinion from. I was diagnosed on my third doctor. I was not miss-diagnosed, the GP and an Oral surgeon just could not identify what it was I had. They both thought about anti biotics or anti virals but I insisted that if they did not know what it was I wanted to see another doctor that could figure it out.

Both of these doctors ruled out cancer. Even though I was relived that I did not have cancer I still wanted a definite answer. The ENT I saw figured it out, it was cancer.

On the Bright side, we see many come here asking the same questions you are who end up being cancer free. You just want to make sure you know where this problem is originating.

Good Luck.

Kelly
