Thanks, Gary, we're on the same thought wave $$ about skipping the OS if I need to see an ENT anyway;) The OS receptionist called back this afternoon with an earlier appt for tomorrow morning so I'll go ahead and start there. Taking your advice, I'm now thinking that I'll skip the ENT and go to Cedars-Sinai Head and Neck Cancer Center. I requested info on the procedures to take to set up a consultation with one of their "Team Members." I live an hour from Los Angeles so there are lots of CCCs to check out. My husband goes to Cedars for multiple myeloma so I decided to start there.

I'm not sure why my dentist didn't do a brush biopsy...I expected him to after my education here at OCF over the weekend;) I was a little surprised that he had a VELscope but happy to oblige all who wanted to check it out.
