Minnie,

That is the reason that more people should be given the freedom to choose where to get their medical treatment. Everyone deserves to have the best case scenario in a worst case moment. Who knows how this might have been handled at a hospital that was not as knowledgable and up-to-date with oral cancer.

Take care of yourself,
Sarah
