Six weeks after my first surgery I had a small bump (looked like a pimple) show up on the right underside of my tongue. I immediately went to my oncologist to have it looked at. She wondered wy I was there since my next appointment was only six weeks away and I told her this new bump worried me. She said it not cancerous and nothing to worry about.

The peace of mind was well worth the trip. Find a new oncologist that will be more proactive in your treatment. If for nothing other than peace of mind you need to be checked from top to bottom. I tend to beleive that doctors know best but I have found that sometimes the treatment plans become routine for them and they forget they should be treating the whole patient.

My advice is to find someone who will listen to you more even if you have to yell at them to get their attention. There is nothing wrong with getting angry with your doctor. Basically I view the process the same as hiring a plumber. If I dont like what I hear from one plumber I find another one who can get the job done when I want it done.

It is your life and you can be as pushy as you like.
