Our ENT was the one that pushed too. She said to remember that she is the captain of the ship and so advocates for everything that we need. Just knowing that she listened and helped us get the treatment started was very helpful. We needed to know that someone was listening. She is very positive and that is also an asset when you are so frightened and do not know what to expect. I would call your ENT and also whoever is on your team. Good luck. Do not give up.
