Just an update. I was back at my ent last week, he just looked in my throat, not with the scope or anything. The pain is still there, but I did have two weeks with no pain at all not too long ago. He says it can't be cancer if the pain subsided for two weeks. I don't think he wants to do anymore tests. He doesn't want to take my tonsils out either. I'm a little frustrated, its hard to get a second opinion when I am going to one of the top ents at a teaching hospital. I just pray that if it were throat or tongue cancer that I would really know it now. It has been almost 15 months. I read the odd story where people have had it for that long and didn't know it until a lump popped out on their neck. I keep feeling my neck for lumps.
Thank you to all on this board. I wish my stepfather had this board when he went through his treatments. He is still cancer free, almost a year now!
Thanks again,
Michelle
