Hi Danny,

That's exactly how I felt when walking out of his office today. He seemed more worried about getting sued for recommending the wrong treatment than telling me what needed to be done. He even said "you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do--you won't die from this." I have a second opinion scheduled with another ENT Monday (although he is not with a CCC).

Helen,
The ENT I saw today is not at a CCC. He was recommended by an oncology nurse at the hospital where I used to work. I just found out, however, that my health insurance will pay for me to go to MD Anderson for a consult and treatment so I have been on the phone leaving messages for a lady named Bev in the head and neck cancer department to see when I can get an appointment. I've heard good things about them and they are the closest CCC to me (I'm in AZ).

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
