Hi, Brian, first off get yourself to a major cancer center. If travel is a problem check out www.aircareall.org....they fly people for free is they can`t afford it.....secondly, we had a reoccurance of tumor next to the carotid artery, which was removed successfully. As a caregiver, myself, I understand your pain....been there, done that, still doing that........Many prayers your way..........Dee
