Michael,
What makes you state:

'I know most of the very knowledgeable cancer ENTs are not interested in diagnosing. Seems to me they prefer to get patients AFTER they have been definitely diagnosed by their GP, etc.'

I don't think that's true. Rather than running around finding another doctor, why don't you send her to one of the many CCC center where she lives and get an answer from someone who deals with this cancer everyday. Those of us who start out at one of those are not usually running around for second and third opinions, admittedly, you're were exception to that rule. I actually can't believe you didn't send here to a CCC in the first place.

Take care,
Eileen

Take care,
Eileen
