When I was put under to find my Primary, my doc at Moffitt told me he thought it was either BOT or my tonsils based upon a visual inspection. I went to sleep thinking I was going to have my tonsils taken out only to wake up being told that he found it at the BOT and it was so small he thought he got it all with the biopsy. He stopped and left my tonsils where they should be. That was the only invasion I would undergo which was fine with me.
