Dear Board,
I had epiglottis biopsy done early this morning by ENT, the doctors did biopsy test while I was asleep, It is cancerous but do not know how bad, ENT said surgery probably not option and had talked to radiologist. Wow, rads again within 8 months? Just how sore will my throat get? Will hydrocodone be able to control the pain like the inside of my mouth? How hard will it be to swallow? I guess according to the doctors if I lose more than 20 pounds that qualifies for a PEG tube? I'm 6 foot and 180 pounds now.

5/31/16 Partial Glossectomy
