Thank you

Hello seeking advice

The ENT doctor did a FNA (fine needle aspiration) biopsy and another biopsy in the mouth. The results will only be knowable after the histology is back. Meanwhile, try to relax. No point in worrying as it may be just an infection. Let us know how you get on. We are here if you just wish to talk.

Best wishes
