Susan-
If you dont mind me asking did you do surgery or radiation? If you dont want to answer please dont worry at all. smile

We scheduled him with an appointment with an Otolaryngology doctor. I dont think he is at a a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Is that a bad idea? we just want to get to an appointment first thing in the morning.

What kind of questions should I ask? I am so confused. frown I did get a copy of the bioposy report and it says Squamous cell carcinoma, moderately poorly differentiated (tumor is present in all margings. P16 immunoperoxisade stain is negative.)
