Advice needed - cancer of the ear canal

Hello I have been treated for an ear Infection for the last 6 months various antibiotics and drops, eventually referred to ENT early sept who diagnosed a polyp in the ear CT scan followed and then a biopsy that took three weeks to come back but was inconclusive, now at a london hospital had an MRI scan yesterday and repeat biopsy scheduled for December 2nd.

Specialist told me today it is cancer of the ear cancal and the repeat biopsy is to get the polyp out and determine what treatment i will need, I am so worried that it has been left to long and they will not be able to treat. I am trying to carry on as normal but it is very hard

MRI has showed it is in the ear cancal but report not written up yet why does everything take so long
