Hello Connie,

Thanks for mentioning Moffitt and I will try to find out more about them. The only cancer hospital rating list I have seen is the following and Moffitt is toward the top but not as high as Sloan.

I wonder if any of these hospitals specialize in base of tongue cancer or clinical trials for such.

I see you are from NY. Did you consider Sloan in NY? I see many people from one place go to other places and I wonder why.
