What are the odds that 10 doctors, including Johns Hopkins staff would miss it? But I also side with the idea that a definitive yes or no would be simplified by a head and neck MRI. If this is really chewing on you, ask your dr. to prescribe one and have it read by someone competent in H&N cancers - ie. Johns Hopkins.
