love how he calls it throat cancer when it's technically oral cancer, doof. Base of tongue is still oral, not throat, and he said it hasn't spread anywhere else yet.

And this cancer is tough to detect. I went from november or 09 till march of 10 till I got a doc to even biopsy mine cuz they kept saying it didn't look like cancer.

His throat was sore and that was his complaint, so why would a doctor look at the base of his tongue for a sore throat? There is lots of referred pain with this type of cancer, at least there was for me. My whole tongue and throat hurt by the time I had surgery to have mine removed.

So it's not always the doctors fault when it goes undetected or misdiagnosed. Only way you truly know is a biopsy.
