You are right, and I do feel lucky. When I met my ent yesterday and he gave me the biopsy result, I thanked him for being on the ball and getting the “ball rolling” quickly in terms of diagnostic testing.

Oh, and the ct scan also revealed a grape sized tumour on my pituitary gland. Suspected to be benign because I exhibit no symptoms but I am going to visit a neurologist to discuss. Obviously alarming, but I have some confidence that I’m in good hands.

Good luck to you in finding out what’s ailing you.
