When my husband was on his fourth doctor for the lesion under his tongue, the three before had told him it was a virus, he took one look at it and told him it was cancer. He just so happens to be a pathology professor at Columbia Presbyterian. I had gotten his name from our dentist because I thought my daughter had wisdom teeth that needed pulling. I sent my husband there thinking maybe he had an abcess being the tumor was now visible on his jawbone from the outside. He was sore from the biopsy so I called our dentist, the original misdiagnoser, to get a prescription for Percocet because he had evening hours. When I explained the diagnosis to him he had the nerve to say "Are you Sure? Cancer doesn't usually hurt". Well I guess when it had progressed to stage 4 and wrapped itself around the jaw-it might just hurt alittle,duh!
