Judi, I've been in Portland for 15 years but I'm from NYC. I'm at Mass General and I f..ing hate Boston. Oh well... the RO at Maine Med was a pediatric and prostate guy and he wanted to microwave my neck. I said "no thanks" and came to bean town to see Dr. Busse who has been doing head and neck for 35 years. He say's he can most likley cure me so I'm gonna stick with it. For as much as this sucks, I HAVE been through worse (but that's another story). Good luck with everything and stay close to the folks here. They are wonderful. I thank God I found them. Will
