Ok, here's another question to ask:
"How many patients do you treat with head and neck cancer every year"

Statistically, results are better at institutions that see greater numbers of patients. Thats not the route we took because of the quality of our young ENT, so the doctors themselves are also a factor. This is why so many are advising a CCC facility. Nothing says you can't get a third opinion.

One other thing to remember in the decision making process - if you are anxious and distressed, you can't do math in your head, and everything is going to look more dire than it may actually be. If you start feeling panicked, so SOMETHING ELSE for a while. I'm going to send you a PM - check My Stuff when the little email flashes.
