Welcome to OCF. Sorry for the reason why you are here. It seems like you do have a cancer diagnosis. I've never heard of someone who has a biopsy that says positive that is wrong. Much more often the case is a biopsy is done and shows negative while there is cancer.
You should be grateful your ENT has a lot of experience to probe further and very thorough until he found the cancer. Also, you are very lucky to be working with Stanford.
All in all, you are in perfect position to receive the best advise and treatment available. Stay in touch here and keep posting your progress as there are many practical tips and advice that you can get here to make the journey more comfortable.
