Its not easy figuring out which doc does what sometimes, at least for me it wasnt. Before I had cancer I had no idea what an oncologist was. For me, I fell into a routine of seeing my ENT most often. Its kinda like he is the one who is in charge of my care but I still see the others from time to time just for check ups, which is a good thing smile Then there is also the dentist, oral surgeon, nutritionist and family doc.
