OP tevs_sn Member Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 12 Georgia	I'm looking for some guidance on what type of doctor (oral surgeon or ENT specializing in oral cancer or perhaps other?) to go to for follow up every three months to check my neck and throat for new growths. I want to stay on top of this and of course want someone to examine me for any new abnormalities. Svet coughed up benign papilloma Feb 2013 Moderate dysplasia growth removed from uvula 6/10/13

Of course, you can always make an appt. if anything unusual pops up. It's also good to have an established relationship with an ENT, which saves time for any testing, procedures, appt., knows your history, and observations. Good luck. 10/09 T1N2bM0 Tonsil 11/09 Taxo Cisp 5-FU, 6 Months Hosp 01/11 35 IMRT 70Gy 7 Wks 06/11 30 HBO 08/11 RND PNI 06/12 SND PNI LVI 08/12 RND Pec Flap IORT 12 Gy 10/12 25 IMRT 50Gy 6 Wks Taxo Erbitux 10/13 SND 10/13 TBO/Angiograph 10/13 RND Carotid Remove IORT 10Gy PNI 12/13 25 Protons 50Gy 6 Wks Carbo 11/14 All Teeth Extract 30 HBO 03/15 Sequestromy Buccal Flap ORN 09/16 Mandibulectomy Fib Flap Sternotomy 04/17 Regraft hypergranulation Donor Site 06/17 Heart Attack Stent 02/19 Finally Cancer Free Took 10 yrs
