It is not cancer until they say it is

in Head and Neck Cancer #1

What we hoped would be the last ENT visit turned into something else.

There is a mass on Jim's neck which must have a needle biopsy.  It is in the same area as the original tumor six years ago.  Doctor said it is not a lymph node.  There is a lot of scar tissue and radiation damage so I'm praying it is something to do with that.

The doctor saw nothing different when he scoped Jim.

Remembering it is not cancer until they say it is.

    Tucking Jim into my pocket!

    Sending positive thoughts on the biopsy....6 years is a long time out, so a very good chance it's nothing.

    Prayers for sure...

    We always feel like we're on the edge of a precipice, no matter how far out we are. I know it will be nerve wracking to wait. I'm praying that all is well and this is just a false alarm. Breathe.
