Welcome Fishmanpa! We also chose to drive nearly 2 hours each way to treatment to get to the right hospital, The University of Chicago. Our local hospital swore to us that they were the best at head and neck cancer in Lake County, but seeing as they were about to radiate my husband's head, sounded like a prudent idea to expand our search beyond the county we live in. The drive was a pain in the backside, but we cannot argue with the results...it was well worth the extra effort.

Sounds like you have made a great decision on your treatment team and are in very capable hands. Wishing you the best of luck as you head into the thick of treatment, we are all here for you, Ana

P.S. Charm, I am so very glad you explained that...I had no idea what a "frack" was!
