Nocam,

If you�re talking about surgery, Sloan is right up there with the best. My doctor at U of M referred me to Sloan as well as the doctors at MD Anderson if I was going to pursue a surgical solution. Both said Sloan was known for their surgical skills in H & N cancers.

I was told there was no surgical option for me by U of M but they did say that if there was a possibility, Sloan would be the place to find it. MD Anderson said the same thing. I did go to Sloan to find out and was told by them that even they would not try surgery thus my choice of Cyberknife.
