Since your doc is planning on doing it while you are under anesthesia, it sounds like he is going to be checking you out pretty good. You probably will be sore for a day or 2 depending on what your doc does. Glad you prepared yourself for the worst, now you probably feel so relieved! If it does turn out to be cancer and you go thru radiation, you may end up using a feeding tube. There are far worse things in life than having to depend temporarily on a feeding tube. Lets hope for the best that everything comes back negative. Good luck!!!
