I had a dentist for a year that looked at my spot in my mouth and kept telling me it wasn't oral cancer. But didn't refer me to an oral surgeon or take steps to do a biopsy. So finally I switched dentists. The new one didn't think it was tongue cancer but referred me to an oral surgeon for a biospy just to be sure.

Well it was tongue cancer. I had surgery and radiation. I am very lucky-it is stage 1 with no lymph node involvement and it did not spread anywhere. I will be ok.

So should I do anything about the firt dentist who ignored my concers or just let it go? Is it worth it? I just hope he doesn't do it to other people as well. Has anyone been in this situation?
