Thank you all for the help and info. I know I need to do something more about my throat. Today I am so hoarse that I am loosing my voice and I sound all froggy. I am getting pretty nervous about this whole thing. The dang ENT put a scope down my throat- but I am just thinking- wouldn't that show cancer- or at least give him suspicion and reason to investigate further?? UGH!!

I am only 2 hours from Shreveport and I go there to see my neurologist, so I was already thinking of getting another opinion there. My throat hurts and I almost have no voice left. Everyone noticed it today. This is really getting scary.

I am really feeling appreciative to you guys. The info you have shared has really affected the way I am dealing with this. I now know that biopsy is the only way to know for sure. I will push harder and get that other opinion. Having dealt with multiple sclerosis for 20 years, I know that we have to be our own advocates cause we are just another patient to the docs. They see us for 5 minutes and then they are onto the next thing. We must fight for ourselves. My children need their mother, so I am going to get to the bottom of this. I am pretty much a wreck over this. Thank you all soooo much.
