Bill - you asked about people getting 2nd and 3rd opinions - well I get a biopsy next week - if it's positive and I'm pretty sure it will be - this will be my third time around with mouth CA. Most recent was Sept 06. I see an excellent head and neck physician - who you might consider for another opinion. Dr. Scott Meredith - currently with Wake Med Faculty Physicians in Raleigh, NC.
