Go to an ENT Surgeon who does biopsies you want the incisonal one NOT the brush. You want a CT/PET Scan to see if cancer is in your lymphnodes (neck). This travels and it travels fast don't sit on it.
Then when you have everything back from the ENT and the labs and IF you do have cancer you have all your records in hand with you when you go to Moffitt. Moffitt will read them and go from there.
You don't need a Dentist to do this your Health Insurance will cover it when you go to an ENT.
Get this done soon!!! If I had known about this forum way back things would have been different with my cancer, I'm sure of it.I was jerked around from this Dr. and that Dr. until I heard about Moffitt Cancer Center.
Get to it..
Take care,
