Two ENT's have told me they believe it is cancer. We just don't know what type or what stage. I have a one week old baby at home. I'm terrified. I've had horrible ear pain since April. They've tried Hydro and Oxy codone. Nothing last. The hydro will take the edge off for a couple hours and the oxy does nothing. Any advice or oppinions on UAB would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks Josh
