Hi Eileen, I like you, only had my oral surgeon (whom I love) and my radiation oncologist treat me all along. That is why I was taken back by the ENT saying I should have been seeing an ENT all along, etc.....for this type of cancer. Well, like I said to him, I will be more than happy to come in every 3 months and get checked over! The more checking the better! Happy new Year! Love, Carol
