Mass General hospital and oral cancer unit is one of the top in the world. Sloan Kettering in NYC, in my opinion, is tops. You are lucky to be at Mass General. My diagnosis, surgery and treatment were in Arizona but I plan to relocate to Boston or NYC if I have a reoccurrence. I had two positive lymph nodes out of 31 that were removed. I needed radiation and chemo. The chemo was needed because of a questionable nerve that was removed not because of the lymph nodes. I hope for a good recovery.
