Hello:

I see a reference to sending records to "CCC" for another opinion. Who/what is CCC?

I am brand new to this forum and am posting to find info. for my elderly father (83, somewhat frail, with only the "gift of gab" left as one of his main pleasures, and not too keen on making "a big fight" to live a long time at his stage in his life.

His diagnosis is T2N1MO squamous. We have asked for alternatives to traditional protocol of partial glossectomy to save his tongue for a while. THey are recommending radiation and brachytherapy and possible surgery for lymph in neck. We would like 2nd opinion asap and to find who are top doctors/clinics in this treatment.

My father gets his care at Kaiser in Redwood City, cA. NOt the best in many ways, except supposedly Dr. Subir Nag is a world expert in brachytherapy and he is at Kaiser here (background: http://permanente.net/homepage/kaiser/doctor/subirnag/)

thank you so much!
