Warren try not to worry. You have support and strength on your side! I know how you feel about having to wait - I was diagnosed 5 days before Christmas!!! When most people-are away!! Hospitals slow to a crawl etc. Even my ent guy went away until jan 4th - and wanted me to wait!!!! For my biopsy results until he came back ( my biopsy was dec10. Obviously I wasn't willing to wait a month so I had my Gp give me h results on hwhen the came in- on the 20th - he was so upset he arranged a head and neck & chest ct for the next day - and I got the results that afternoon!!! And by the next day. I Had an appointment with an MRI and a top notch specialist at our local ccc. I had my MRI the 6th of January - (two days after I would have been getting the news from my ent guy! ) and surgery within the month.

I know it's a shock but you can get through this. take care and good luck with your scans
