Hi Sheila - my first biopsy was negative. 3 months later, a second biopsy finally came back positive. By then, the cancer was at a stage 3 or 4.
I wish my ENT had been as thorough as yours!
It's better to know for sure and get it treated right away if it turns out to be cancer. If it's negative again, then you can take a big sigh of relief.
Music is a great idea. I played computer games to keep my mind off of things. Hoping for the best.
