Christine, I appreciate your response. If these symptoms are all pointing towards BOT cancer then how is it diagnosed? I have a complete understanding of where BOT cancer is located as my ENT showed me while scoping my throat on video. I actually can touch this area to my doctors amazement. The question I have is can this cancer not be seen on CT, or through scopes and it be there? Obviously, there are numerous people who had BOT symptoms as I have researched the Internet and most all had symptoms identical to mine. The doctor thinks I have neauralgia which actually can be caused by a tumor. Would a MRI show more than CT scan. Both my doctors recommended CT's. The pain is awful and there are not a lot more things it could be. I have been tested for allegies, scoped for reflux, dentist, oral surgeons and so forth and I know something is there. Please anyone with advice please let me know your symptoms and if your tumor could be seen or felt by Docs or CT scan. I'm not crazy and know there is something wrong and I feel My gut is right on this. Thank you.
