Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry that that you have the need to join this circle of friends.
Both Christine and bjmpittsburgh have given you good advice, particularly what Was said about becoming familiar with your insurance coverage. Do you have a family member or friend who can support you when you go for doctor's appointments and treatment? These visits to the hospital can often be overwhelming to the patient, so having another person by who can take notes or prepare a list of questions you may have together with you and to remind you to ask them can be very helpful. You haven't seen the head and neck oncologist yet, so there's still time to make these arrangements.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
