CJP,

You will be in good hands at U of M as they have one of the best head and neck cancer programs in the nation. I am on the west coast of Michigan in South Haven and almost went to that side of the state for treatment, but the folks at U of M said the facility here in Grand Rapids was as good as what they have and my doctor was from U of M so they worked together.

I had treatment to the soft palet also. I did radiation only for an early stage SCC.

Things are working out OK for me so far. I have a few issues but they are almost all annoyances. Radiation was a BI**H but it was over before I knew it, and I was quick to mend.

Your at the right place for the treatment you will need. Good Luck and feel free in asking for any help.
