Hi Mark,

I had BC/BS in Raleigh. I als had SC at the base of the tongue and two lymph nodes. BC/BS was terrific with me. They assigned me a case manager who checked with me weekly to make sure treatmetn was going well and make sure I had everything I needed. Not sure about NY but in NC, they were great. I was diagnosed in Sept, started Chemo and radiation in Oct, and had modified rad neck surgery Jan 31. Am now in remission and doing well. Going to gym, playing golf, etc. It will be a tough road for your brother, but if they hit this thing hard, they can get rid of it. He will be weak, tired and need support from family and friends.
