If you're not too far from Albany, I suspect the closest CCC's to you are Sloan Kettering in NY and Dana Farber in Boston. Based on what you described about your surgery to date and your ENT office's response to your question about cancer experience, I would re-emphasize the importance of getting to a CCC for another opinion. I know you're probably concerned about the travel time, but please impress on your family that anything they can do to pitch in and help you get to a major cancer center is well worth the time and trouble in the long run.
