It's too bad your CCC sucks... Is there another one within traveling distance? maybe someone here on the forum is from your area and can recommend one? We seem to push CCCs here quite a but - it's for a good reason. Most CCCs have the best of the best in terms of drs. I know here in canada there is a process - the drs who graduated tops in their field etc... Are sought after by the top hospitals - it's the same for researchers etc... Each hospital wants to be the best. Now some of those drs may have the personality of a bedpan, and while it is nice to have someone who can soothe your fears and hold your hand when push comes to shove I can deal with the emotional fall out just give me someone who is amazing at what they do.
I'm not saying there aren't terrific drs out there who work amazingly well individually however - they are just that- an individual - there is a certain cohesiveness and team work that is found in a CCC - remember they do cancer all day every day. They have clinical trials, cutting edge surgical procedures and techniques available to them, and likely one stop shopping when it comes to things like dentistry, hearing tests etc. Everything during my treatment was handled and arranged by my hospital. Your sig says you have poorly differentiated SCC - this means its aggressive. I would seek out he top doctors available to you - in the head and neck field - hugs and best of luck
