I saw the ENT today for the first time for a lesion on my tongue that I've had for a few months. This lesion was punch biopsied on Apr.21 by my dermatologist. The path report said moderate dysplasia so dermatologist said I must see an ENT and have this removed. The lesion was very white and half inch long with a lump under it. The lump seems to be kind of spread out too. In just 4 weeks this white has turned red. I have a small white patch on the other side of my tongue that looks exactly like the way the other side started out. I have developed thrush also. The ENT I saw today was totally rude and abrupt, he did not give me any oportunity to ask a question. He wants to take the "watch and wait" approach and wants me to come back in 2 months. He doesn't want to cut right now but he might in the future. I'm not feeling really good about this situation. I thought that an excisional biopsy was kind of standard? My dentist wanted me to go to Ohio State when he saw me the first of May. Since I didn't have a way to get there I just found an ENT here in town. There are very few here. I told this guy that I have a huge family history of cancer...Mother,father,brother,sister,7Aunts and uncles. He said that he has a history too and that was that. I'm not one to panic or over react but I want to do the right thing. I would appreciate all advice given. Actually I feel like giving up on the medical profession altogether since they are such jerks. Thanks I hope I made my story clear enough. Jackie
