Misty, You can tell your doctor that my husband, who was 37 when diagnosed, never smoked and rarely drank. He was one of the healthiest persons I have ever known, yet he was diagnosed with Stage IV squamous cell carcinoma. He found his by a swollen lymph gland in his neck area. I would find another doctor if you can, if nothing else, he should be sensitive to your feelings of being uncomfortable waiting. I think he is definetly not up on medicine in the head & neck area.
