Welcome to Connect @texascattledog. I have head and neck cancer and am a veterinarian so I can help you with the jargon. Most of the report is about location and description of the lumps. The radiologist found that your masses are highly suggestive of cancerous tumors. CT Scans cannot diagnose cancer but they do give enough information about the anatomy of the lump to say what should be high on the list of differentials. He said that your next step is to contact an Ear, Nose, and throat doctor so that a biopsy can be taken and a diagnosis made. Then you can make the plan for treatment. My advice after 12 years of the cancer journey is to educate yourself by reading so that you can advocate for your best medical care. That may mean travel to a large medical center for your care. The next step is yours to keep calling until you get to speak with your doctor and get a referral for biopsy. Don’t wait for them to call you. “ The squeaky wheel gets the grease” is appropriate here. Do you have family members to help you get this issue resolved?
