I appreciate all of your replies -- it has kept my anxiety at bay. However, the doctor said it was just "anxiety" that was troubling me. It isn't just anxiety!! I am offended, and angry, insulted, grr!! Next step is going to an ENT. I am taking the advice that you have all given me and I will continue being persistent until I get an answer!! I really want these things biopsied. I have a question: do I need a referral to make an appointment with an ENT? Thank you all for being so patient with me!!
