Thanks for the responses. In the routine follow-ups, what is the doctor supposed to do. My only follow-up so far has been with the radiation oncologist. He examined my throat with a dental mirror. I asked him about the scope, and he said it was broken. Then he told me everything looked okay. So I contacted the onco dentist ans asked if there is any way to see the base of my tongue with a dental mirror. He said "no." IOW, I had no exam, but the doctor led me to believe I did.

So I found an ENT on my own to get my throat examined. I asked what the next step should be and he said to see the radiation oncologist in 6 weeks. I told him about the dental mirror, and he didn't seem to be bothered by another doctor looking at the throat with a tool that can't see it. He told me to see him anyway.

Thoughts?
