Shannon, what you're about to undergo sounds a bit like the triple endoscopy procedure I had a coupla years back, the difference being that they already knew I had cancer when they did it. They were just trying to find the primary site.

Christine says it best. Your throat will be sore for a bit, swallowing will give you pain, you may even feel as if you have a lump in your throat. But all of that is very temporary. I was mainly glad to read "he is not overly concerned about this".

Hang in there. The anxiety is the worst part. Keep us posted - we're all always here for any rambling!
