Bill, sorry you have this to deal with. I don't know where Niceville, FL, is, but Sylvester Cancer Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami is a very good cancer center. I was treated by the head and neck team there and found their treatment to be first class. They are also very sympathic with your condition and because it is a teaching hospital, are up to date on all of the latest knowledge and techniques for treating this disease. You should check them out if it is geographically convenient.
