Becky,

As I said in my PM to you earlier, please get another opinion from an ENT in a cancer care center. If I had done that, mine never would have gotten as far as it did. How yours is now is how mine was 3 years ago. And if properly treated then, it would have ended there, maybe even for good. Maybe not, but the chances are..... I'm really glad to see everyone else here is telling you the same thing. Must be a sign, right?
