Pearl,

I am in full agreement with Kirk Georgia. The best outcome means the best hospitals. I know nothing about the hospital you listed (they might be fine), but be sure she is seen by the best she can get to even if it requires a little (or lot) of work.


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
