Carol,
I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way. You've caught this early, and you will kick it in the behind. I truly feel what you are going through, as I still have the remains of a suspicious lump. My ent is giving it till the end of the month to see if it's gone, if not I will be having surgery for a biopsy. It is not as prominent as it was initially,and no longer sore, but lump is wanting to remain, I'm praying it goes away.
lots of hugs,
Laura
