You just posted that your ENT hasn't done a biopsy yet?? Then how does he know it's cancer? I haven't met one doctor yet or heard of one, for that matter, that has the ability to visually determine cancer. A biopsy is NEEDED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER.

IMHO you need to run away from your ENT and into the arms of Emory or some CCC. This is your life and only you will have to deal with the aftermath of whatever you decide to do IF AND WHEN IT IS DETERMINED TO BE CANCER.
