Ive explained my symptoms in Introduce Yourself. Not sure if i need to again. Hopefully not. Ill start with my question and ask me for clarification if needed.

I have a mass on the base of my tongue. A biopsy is scheduled for the 24th.

My throat is very sore and swollen. The other night i woke up having trouble breathing because my throat was so swollen. Since i dont have a diagnosis yet im just wondering if this is likely related. If the mass & swollen glands could be related.

Im so nervous. I just want to be prepared. The ENT could not locate the mass that is clearly visible on the MRI & the cat scan in his office. Im also wondering if that is common. Has anyone else had it show up on tests but it cant be found in the office & still end up with a bad result?
