Tina and T,
I wish each of you the best in your recovery and thanks
For the kind words. I don't have a swollen lymph node, so all I have to go by is the pain and its location which is the base of the tongue. I know my doctor is qualified, but he only took a very small biopsy in one location. To my understanding BOT cancer is not always seen with ENT scopes correct? This is my biggest concern. This pain is excruciating. I'm just trying to get as much info as possible from all BOT survivors. Also, I want to wish each of you comfort, strength and healing in your journey. Each of you are an inspiration to me. I don't know my fate yet, but if I do have the big "c" I would definitely look to you guys for inspiration. This is a very special group and I can't tell you how many prayers I have said for each of you. Thanks guys.
