Thank you David..

I know that's the obvious route..my worry is whether I will be losing time by not going straight to an Oncologist..how soon does these type of cancer change stages? In weeks? Months?

Further confused whether I should go to an Gastroenterologist first as even ENT says this could be GERD induced. I am also worried about the possibility of cancer elsewhere in GI tract.

Panic sometimes cloud the senses...so not able to thinks straight
