I only saw my RO for a couple of months after rad ended. And he didn't do much except look in my mouth and tell me I still had mucositis but appeared to be healing. I actually mentioend swallowing issues to hom before anyone else and he just told me it would get better with time--didn't even suggest a swallowing test. In short, I think my visits with him were useless.

At two years out, I have regular appointments with my ENT and my MO. But the MO has treated me for both breast cancer and oral cancer so my followup with him is about both. He is a very good, very careful, and very knowedgable doctor, so I don't mind at all I still have appts. with him. But my ENT is really the main guy keeping an eye on me as regards oral cancer.
