Hi Leo,

First off... take a breath and relax. Even if it is cancer, you're NOT going to die! Treatments are very successful these days. I know you're scared but the fact that your ENT said everything looked Ok is very positive. He's doing his job in checking out anything out of the ordinary.

To answer your question, yes, a scope can indeed detect OC as well as show suspicious lesions, ulcers, abrasions and other areas of concern. Otherwise, a biopsy can determine whether or not an area of concern is cancer. An MRI would show something unusual but it appears there was nothing of concern in January.

Good luck tomorrow!

Positive thoughts and prayers
