What i am wondering, as each cancer is different and i am more familiar with breast and prostate, at what point is an oncologist called in? Right now his appt is with an ENT but to my understanding, yes he has dealt with this before but not his specialty. (still working on getting in to md anderson). Is this normal? Not worried or freaked currently, just strikes me as odd after other cancer type experiences.
