What you will commonly hear asked from the "veterans" on these boards is "have you been to a CCC?". Give yourself the best chance of survival and make sure you are getting the "best" possible medical care available to you...not just the one that you "like".

I "love" my ENT...and the reason I love him is because he was smart enough to understand that if I was going to have a chance at life, he was going to have to refer me to someone better then he was. All Dr's are not created equal, all medical facilities aren't either. Being that you have other health issues, it just makes sense to make sure you are getting world class care.

Good luck
