Hi jklamert - How great you had someone paying attention over the holiday and getting your husband's appointment moved up to this coming Monday. An ENT is the best person to see your husband, but it really should be an ENT with extensive experience in treating oral cancer patients and MD Anderson is one of the very best places to be. "Tongue Cancer" is a rather general term and can refer to any lump or sore anyplace in the head and neck area. Sometimes "a lump is just a lump" and only a biopsy can tell for sure whether it is cancer or not. Some cancers grow faster than others so it is important to get moving quickly. Perhaps the ENT your husband sees on Monday can help get him to MD Anderson very soon. Hope everything goes well on Monday. Let us know what happens.
