Hi Callie:
I'm from Huntsville, AL and had Dr. Carroll, UAB for my doctor although I had already had surgery (tonsilectomy) in Huntsville when my tonsil cancer was found - went to UAB for consult on follow-up treatment - more surgery (to remove residual cancer they couldn't get with tonsilectomy) and radiation, or 7-weeks stronger radiation with 1/day week chemo in Huntsville. I chose no surgery at UAB, but had follow-up visits with Dr. Carroll. I hurt for you guys, especially having to wait for a month - also, I really encourage a second opinion. If at all possible, I would go to MD Anderson or Johns Hopkins. If that's not possible, the University of Pennsylvania. I will be praying for you and so glad you found the Forum because everyone has given you so much information and everyone really cares for you and hubby.
