Have you called….. an oncologist?
Seems like that’s where I’d start if I wanted to know if a visit was warranted to….. an oncologist’s office

Welcome…Also… I am not sure how big or extensive is the angiosarcoma on his forehead, but the ENT surgeons will be pretty aggressive in removing the sarcoma with clear wide margins plus regional lymph nodes, in other words, they will possibly remove a good part of his forehead, maybe face, cutting down to the lymph nodes is his neck….
So in these 3 weeks, he better get his stuff in order, be with his family, take a bunch of pictures, let them remember what he looked like before the surgery…
Maybe a little dramatic… but these radical dissections can be pretty brutal.

The client or maybe someone on their behalf should talk to patient advocate at the VA clinic or hospital!

He can call every day and ask if there were any cancellations that would allow them to see him earlier

The ENT will surgically remove the sarcoma, the surrounding tissue, and regional lymph nodes. ENTs are surgically trained for these procedures. The specimens are sent to a pathologist to determine if the resected edges are clean and if the regional lymph nodes are clean of cancer cells. A radiologist will probably do PET scan to determine distal metastasis. Then the oncologist will take all the information to stage the cancer. Based on the staging, a treatment plan can be developed. It's a cascade on medical professionals, you can't just skip directly to an oncologist
All of this. You have to cut it out first. Oncologists don’t do surgery. Trust the process. The doctor knows what he’s talking about. And 3 weeks is really not that long to get into a specialist. That 3 weeks will not make a difference. If the ENT thinks it warrants an emergency, they will do surgery ASAP.
