Hi y'all,

I'm another new patient. 45, married male. Just diagnosed with Stage III Squamous Cell Cancer. I guess it's mostly neat my submandibular gland with a "finger" wrapped around my carotid.

I'm meeting with the new docs next Weds. at MD Anderson Orlando. I have no idea what they're going to recommend.

I'm sure I have a trillion things I should worry about. Right now, though, I'm wondering if I should try to get over to Houston or someplace for a second opinion, or should I feel OK about the Orlando branch? It's very near my house, which is cool, but I'd rather get good, rather than convenient, treatment.

Oh, by the way, I'm scared sh*tless
