OKay, here goes. Mike's biopsy came back NEGATIVE....Hooray, I think. The doctor is actually not satisfied with that. She was so sure that it was cancer. She took his results to the Board of Doctors on the Head and Neck team and they agree with her. She needs to do a laser biopsy to take a LARGE piece and dig deeper. I completely trust her and her instincts and I believe that he is in the best possible hands but I don't know how to feel right now. He will be in the hospital for a week and possibly need a feeding tube for a short time. I feel like I don't know anymore today than I knew yesterday. TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!!!
