Debbie,

Looks like you are very well situated. M.D. Anderson is very very good at this and Moffitt is close to you in Tampa should you decide to get a second opinion.

Anderson or Moffitt should set you up with a team. This could include a Dentist, a Medical Oncologist, a Radiation Oncologist, a Nutritionist, and an ENT.

It will all depend on the course of treatment that they recomend, but it looks like you are in good hands.
