The weird thing is, I have a physical every year, and just had mine 5 months ago. Nothing in my blood work to indicate cancer. My primary even said everything looked great - except my blood pressure...

Also, about my hospital, the other reason why I picked Yale was because after your appointment with the top doctor, you go before a "Tumor Board" of experts who decide and evaluate, with you and/or spouse/significant other, your course of treatment. There will be 7 different experts there on Monday - head & neck surgeon, oncologist, oral surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, speech and swallowing expert, and the entire nursing staff.

Will let you guys know how it goes.
