Welcome to OCF! So sorry why you are here but glad you are here as there is tremendous experience to help you out. There are many who obtain medical services from Canada. No matter where we get service it always seems slow and the lags and delays often cause the most anxiety. A couple months from the first visit to getting actual treatment in action is not uncommon.

You did save time as you got an initial diagnosis right away. Many go around a few times doing the antibiotic loop.

Getting to an ENT surgeon is your next step along with that scan. The main players may include surgeon, MO (Medical Oncologist) and RO (Radiation Oncologist).

Keep asking and pushing for tumor board review as well. This is a group/team approach so your specific case is reviewed by all medical professionals involved with diagnosing and treating cancer.

Visit here often, ask lots of question. We are here to help. Don
