Sorry no one has replied.  In answer to your concerns, unfortunately I would say yes, it appears to be canker.  Please don't try to pick at it as by doing so you risk making it bleed or a secondary infection.  If you've...

Sorry you are going thru all this - I am unfamilar with the Extension Office in Tennessee - I'm in Cali - and here they will do necropsy for free, I just bring the bird in.  The doctors you spoke to are probably correct in saying...
