I'd been feeling pressure in my right nostril and aching in my left ear so my Oncologist ordered an MRI of the neck and brain. This week I'm told the MRI found inflammation beyond the roof of my mouth. After examing the area, my H/N doctor assured me it is not an infection and is pretty sure it is benign, but to be sure he needs me to see the Head of H/N surgery and it "may" or "may" not need to be biopsied.
To say least, I'm worried and not to excited about waiting to see the doctor. I really want to know what's going on. I laugh that they call us patients because I don't have much right now.
