Tina,

Don't under estimate your situation. Your situation is just as serious as any one else here. Glad you found this site. WELCOME

You are to see another Dr. what Kind?
I hope that Dr.. will answer your questions. Just tell him you need more information. My guess is that you are about to see a radiologist.

My story started with tongue. I had surgery on tongue to remove cancer with clear margins. A year later cancer back in neck stage IV. I had sore on tongue for about a year before I had it tested. I waited to long.

Glad that you are getting things checked out before to much time passes. You will find lots of information and help here. Don't worry you are not alone.

Take care
Diane
