It is best to be treated at a CCC but I would be concerned waiting that long for surgery.

Have you had a CT or PET scan yet?

Just make sure when they do the surgery, the have a pathologist checking the removed tissue during the surgery (know as frozen sections) to make sure they remove enough to get clear margins. I was a cancer novice when I had my first surgery, and had the surgery at a small local hospital. This was not done, and resulted in a lot of problems for me.

Wishing you the best!
