The American Cancer Society in your vicinity would probably be a big help with logistics and such...getting you to a CCC..a place to stay if you have to be away from home for treatment (they run Hope Lodges at a lot of CCC's - marvelous facilites)...care for your Mom, if needed. I would call them to see what they can do, but for sure, call (today) Emory's Head and Neck Clinic and get an appointment...they can most likely do your biopsy as well.

We are not being alarmists, but know the importance of a good diagnosis and treatment plan..you need the expertise of several diciplines(tumor board)to guide you to the best care and cure. These doctors use guidelines and their experience (because Head and Neck cancer is all they do day in and out)to stage your cancer (if it is really that) and develop a treatment plan. Once again, I know this is overwhelming and very scary, but you can do this...your life is at stake.
