My dad, (71yrsold) was recently dx'd with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of paratoid gland and lymph nodes...surg. Sch'd almost 6 weeks from now. Is this a reasonable time or is it too long to wait. The surgeon voiced he wanted to do surg in 1-2 wks, but his schedule was booked and his first opening is in 6 weeks. I called his office the next day with my concerns. He called me back and said that he didn't realize his schedule was sooo busy and that he was trying to find a time sooner or checking into seeing if one of his partners may have a sooner appt. should I continue to call or wait on their call or 6 wks, which ever comes first? Thanks from concerned daughter....
