Just curious if anyone could tell me about MD Anderson in Houston. My radiation oncologist recommended them if we wanted a second opinion on what to do with me next. My ENT called it "The Big House".

I guess at this point I'm curious what they could do for me that I couldn't already get here in Arizona. I've already had the neck dissection last week...

It was disheartening to read on MD Anderson's Web site that the prognosis for tongue cancer without node involvement was "excellent" but when there is node involvement prognosis "deteriorates" -- that hit me pretty hard today... I always felt like I was among the excellent ones, but alas... frown
