Hello Debbie,

I also second what Ed said about getting a second opinion at a MAJOR HEAD& NECK CANCER CENTER!!
You want a team of different doctors reviewing all his scans and tests to determine the best treatment for HIM! You want to throw everything at this the first time. Follow the sound advice about taking notes and writing your questions down ahead of time. You never remember them all at the appointment.
Please keep us posted and keep asking questions here. Someone always seems to have a similer experience during treatment. Knowledge will empower you to be his advocate and ask the right questions. Hope all goes well and you beat the beast to death the first go around.

Can someonre post the list of Major Cancer centers near North Carolina?
