Hi Brian,
Much thanks for all of that info. Also, I did not know UCSF's HNC center is a good one. For some reason, I thought their CCC center was just recently designated (1999). Although, Stanford's CCC designation is fairly recent too. I will have to give UCSF a second thought.
By the way, I know this may be personal, and don't respond if you don't want to, but were your out-of-pocket total costs for treatment at MD Anderson above the six figure mark?
Thanks again for the response.
