Hello and thank you to everyone who replied. My families objective is not to sue this doctor but to protect any poor patient who may have this a** in the future. I feel as a GP and when a patient presents him with these kinds of symptoms, he should at least feel his neck for swollen glands or lymph nodes. He saw the 3cm tumor in his mouth and said nothing. My mother asked him to re-look at the tumor to make sure he did not miss it. The doc just called it TMJ and gave him some pain medicine. It was a dentist who finally said we have a problem.
My dad had a biopsy this morning and the ENT felt this may be lymphoma instead of oral cancer. He will tell us everything tomorrow or Wednesday.
My husband just finished 6 rounds of R-CHOP for Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma last month, he is doing great. One family member gets healthy and now one gets sick.
