Even active duty military personnel have options. Having done a little time in the military medical service, I have some, if dated, experience here. You can go outside the system. Of course this is on your own insurance or money, not the military's. You can get the military to pay for it if the treatments which you need are not available within the military system, or you can show that what they would provide is not currently accepted standard of care where you are. If it involves treatment at another facility, TAD to that facility is possible at full pay. You can petition to be sent to Bethesda for instance, where the NCI is located. Regarding further delays, this is unacceptable, and a request by you to the chief medical officer of the facility you are stationed at for more rapid diagnosis, etc. is acceptable and in order. You are informed now enough to know that this moves quickly. If you have abnormal, dysplastic cells in your biopsy, and a cervical node that is abnormal, the clock is ticking. The doctor you are currently seeing is out of touch. He obviously is not up to speed with the current spike in non smoking oral cancer patients in their thirties and forties that we are seeing around the country. If your chief medical officer does not endorse your requests you can move further up the chain of command to the base commander. Realizing that every time you jump up the chain of command in the military it can piss off people you jumped over
