Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | I had a stage one cancer that had no thikness to it at all, just a red coloration. No pain at all. Two doctors missed it and said it did not look like cancer until ENT took biopsy.
ENT said the other docs probably had never seen a stage one before. Said they rarely catch them that early and they do not present like stage 3 and 4 cancers.
