Christine, Thanks very much for the information. We're going to be making some calls over the next few days to find out the oral surgeon's experience with doing this kind of thing and find out whether there are any other oral surgeons with experience with H/N cancer patients in the area. Moffitt Cancer Center is ranked the #18 comprehensive cancer center in the country by US News, so we had been relying on their expertise in managing and treating his condition. I've lost confidence with what has happened and what we've learned recently. So, time to do some research on doctors!

Thanks again for the fast response,

Connie (and Jerry)
