Anita,

I don't get it. More than two weeks ago your husband's periodontist thought that his ENT should examine this spot as soon as possible. Now the ENT wants to watch it for another month? Did he say why he doesn't want to do a biopsy yet?

I know I posted earlier about my recent experience and how it turned out to be benign, but my oral surgeon was not willing to wait as long as your husband's ENT to investigate fairly aggressively, and my prior cancer was only Stage II.

Does your periodontist have any other recommendations about who should look at this?
