Will an ENT still do a biopsy on my gum area? I am so used to drs. saying it is a dental issue. Dentist says it is a medical one at this point.
After my brain tumor Dx (initially I was given a very poor prognosis, but every time my scan shows no change I am more optimistic, what I have is called a tectal glioma, and usually shunt placement for hydrocephulus is done, but so far I have not needed it) I feel I can deal with anything, but this is more painful than I feel I can stand.
Are gums a usual primary site for oral cancer? Does anyone know if any dentists or dental specialists ever take a medical PPO?? I had an HMO until recently, but my job switched me to a Blue Shield PPO so I do not have to wait for referrals all the time.
I see Christine that you have been through quite an awful ordeal, may you get some relief soon.
Thank you again for your response. | | |
