I'm beginning to get worried. I mean, how does one get the diagnosis? I'm looking at my tonsils and the back of my throat, and it's looking pretty off. My tonsils look sort of bubbly.

My primary physician didn't do jack squat on Friday. I wanted a referral to an ENT. The problem is, finding an ENT knowledgeable enough to make a proper diagnosis.

Is there a way, besides biopsy, that they can check for cancer in the mouth or throat? They think my throat hoarseness and nasal dryness is due to acid reflux, but, I'm not convinced. Can I get some kind of soft tissue scan that might highlight SCC in my tonsils or back of throat??
