Bilge,

I will affirm what Christine and Paul said about a CCC. I didn't think a CCC was an option due to the cost of lodging and travel but I was fortunate to get a room at Hope Lodge in Baltimore which is about 1.5 miles away from Johns Hopkins where I was treated.

I had an unknown primary SCC MO to the lymph nodes stage IV. They did a selective neck dissection and chemo/rads 6 weeks 30 rads 6 weekly chemos.

I can't speak highly enough of my team. They are tops in the field and took great care of me. Check out the link below. Maybe there's a hospital listed near you.
