I am one of the few who was turned down by a CCC or the big time cancer hospitals for not having insurance. So instead I ended up at a County hospital here in Houston. But all of my ENT team are products of MD Anderson or Memorial Hospital here and they just come into the county Hospital 3 times a week. I feel comfortable with them but when I see commercials for CCC I feel like I might get the short end. It can be nerve racking but I just hope that my ENT team is as good as their jackets portray.
