Hi Susanlaura1,

I'm sorry this post is not more timely, but I have been having computer problems the last few days. First, thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for Heather. I will be posting an update on her soon. We think she might be able to come home very soon. Things are definitely looking up.

I am so surprised to hear the attitude of the dr. you saw at The James. We actually had considered taking Heather there because they do have a good reputation as a head and neck cancer center. And if it is the surgeon I think it is, he was very highly recommended to us by another member of this forum.

I'm wondering how your appt. with the RAD dr. went. I hope you felt more confident with him than you did with the ENT. I don't know what other dr. or facility to recommend, but I wouldn't make any treatment decisions until you are comfortable and confident with the dr. you choose.

Rainbows & hugs, wink
Rosie
