trt,

I had surgery and radiation, but no chemo. Almost as soon as I was diagnosed, my oral surgeon referred me to a MO, who was intended to be the "point person" managing all my tests and overseeing my treatment. I developed a great deal of confidence in him during the process, and he became my PCP (and he still is, 18 years later). He does my general physicals and coordinates any necessary referrals to other specialists. By now, he has a pretty massive file of my medical history since 1989, and it means a lot to me to have someone with such a complete understanding who is continuing to do follow-ups with me.
