Paul, Thank you for your feedback! It looks like you have been through a lot, you are a fighter!

I do have one more question: I attend weekly meetings that are sponsored by the American Cancer Society, have gone to 4 of them so far. We share our stories, and when I shared mine, the group was surprised that I was not referred to an Oncologist yet, only seen by ENT doctors. I have an appointment with an Oncologist in one week (asked for referral from my primary care doctor as I have HMO insurance thru Medicare). I belong to a medical group where they have a patient portal and all the doctors in this group can see everything, including test results, in the computer portal. My question to you is: do you think an oncologist has more knowledge on tongue cancer than an ENT from all of your experience?
