I think with the symptoms I had and with the first CT scan that did show swollen lymph nods, they could've saved me sometime and did the biopsy much earlier. The first visit to the ENT after the first scan, I was seen by his assistant, she looked through the endoscopy and she said that there is some fullness at the base of the tongue repeating waht the first CT scan report indecated and she said that the whole area was irritaed and gave antibiotics and told me to this could be related to Acide reflux as well and asked to repeate the scan after 4 weeks. so if I think the ENT DR not his assistant saw me that day he could've orderd the Biopsy much earlier at least 3 weeks earlier. so I'm not sure if that assistant missed seeing the Mass or there was no mass at that time and now I wonder couldit be possible that the mass got larger that fast that became 2.5x2 cm?
