I would call MD Anderson first thing in the morning and have them review this case. From what you stated in your above post I would have very little confidence in the current medical team. I would be going insane too! They have a saying that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome.

The GP didn't surprise me - A lot of us wasted precious time taking antibiotics that didn't do anything. The general rule is if there is no response within 2 weeks it's time to see a specialist. But the referal to him from the ENT sure did (it's usually always the other way araound). The flags are going up! These are all the wrong people! She should be seeing a head & neck surgeon, experienced in throat cancer cases, an oncologist and a radiation oncologist. The 3 of them, as a team, can map out a suitable treatment plan.

I wouldn't have picked an oral surgeon for my first choice for an accurate diagnosis either...and why didn't she just see her current ENT for biopsy? The current ENT stating that he would refer to an Onocologist if asked "but that wasn't necessary" would have me heading for the exit. Excising tissue and a skin graft even though the "cancer isn't back" seems a bit drastic also.

Cancer is a very unforgiving disease it doesn't often give second chances to get it right. This is why we always strongly recommend going to a comprehensive cancer center. There is a list of them in the NCI and NCCN resources elsewhere on the site.
