I too hope you are going to MSKCC. There are also two good centers in Phila, Fox Chase and U of P. I do hope you are not planning on having the surgery in Princeton. I would want a doctor that has done so many of these things he 'can do these things in his sleep'. Also at a major center, the guy reading the tissue has more experience.
I work in Princeton and live in Trenton so know local dentists, doctors, etc. if you wnat any of that info. However, my cancers were totally different than yours.
Take care,
Eileen
