My husband's dentist noticed a small leukoplakia. It was biopsied within a week by an oral surgeon and found to have moderate dysplasia. He saw an ENT last week, the day after he got the biopsy results, and the ENT said he would remove it in four to six weeks.

Is such a delay common? Should he seek another opinion in the hope of getting it taken care of sooner? I've gone into more detail in the Symptoms and Diagnosis forum.

Oh, an introduction -- I'm 56, husband is 57, two children in college.

I know most of you are dealing with situations far more complex that ours and am grateful for any advice/suggestions you can offer. Brian and the other moderators, thank you for providing this resource.
