I have a question, actually kind of a survey...do you all visit an ENT on a regular basis? I had my first visit with an ENT since my tongue cancer diagnosis (due to an earache) and he was quite taken aback that I had not been having regular visits with an ENT. Of course, I told him I will definitely come in to get checked, I like getting checked. I know it is weird but that's me. I still get my regular checks from oral surgeon and onocologist. Please let me know what you all do about the ENT? Thanks so much! Carol
