I am an Oral Cancer Survivor and have just found a painful lump in the back of my upper pallet. I wear an obdurator now and have a small opening left from a previous surgery. My last CT Scan was 5/6 months ago. I only waited 3 days and then was able to get in to a General Dentist this morning and am on Pencillin now. I called Head and Neck in Chicago and was told there is a 4 months wait for an appointment with my Oncoligist. Then they said his assistant would call back, that was Monday, today is Wednesday.

My plan of action is, I will take the Pencillin until early next week. If it has not changed then I will make an appointment with a Maio Facial Doc and get a Biopsy. I am not going to be jacked around for to months and told I am not sick enough to see the best Doc in my area.

Cripes, this is not fair.
