Yes on Jerry he talked to me when I was going through it.
I looked up the doctor you talked about. Hmmmm...he's an Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dept of Oral Surgery. It didn't say anything about cancer surgeon unless I missed it.
If I were in your sister's shoes I'd go to MD Anderson, just my opinion.
I do want to mention I had the ND you can't see the scar and my neck looks like it did before surgery.
Another thing if you go to MD Anderson take all the scans, biopsy reports, the biopsy disk and all her medical records with you. Moffitt Cancer Center wanted the biopsy disk for sure they wanted to read it. This way she won't have to go through them again. If I needed radiation or chemo Moffitt would work with the Radiation Oncologist where I live. That also might be an option if she does have radiation and chemo with MD Anderson.
