The Hope Lodge is for patients who live at least an hour away from the treatment facility. Im pretty sure the patient must be in active treatments for their cancer to stay there. Hope Lodge has places near almost all major cancer centers making it so much easier than commuting on patients at a time when they arent feeling the best from their treatments.

Im very glad to read you have a better idea about who to see and how to go about being seen and finding the best way to eliminate whatever is going on in your mouth. I really hope it is NOT cancer and is something thats easily treated. Just make certain anyone you go to that wants to remove the spot that they are very experienced and already have tested the tissue so they know what it is. I understand you want it gone but you also need to get the right type of doctor to help you so nothing gets botched or made worse due to being in a rush to get rid of it.

Keep us posted on how you are making out. Best wishes!!!!
