Just reread some of your previous posts and see that you mentioned that you are about 60 miles north of Miami. That's about how far we are from the doctor my husband sees at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.

The University of Miami/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center has a satellite office in Deerfield Beach, about 30 miles from you. Here is information about the services offered for head and neck cancer patients at Deerfield Beach: http://www.sylvester.org/communications/printed_materials/Insert-Head%20%20Neck.pdf

If you want to go the main facility in Miami, here is contact information to make an appointment there: http://www.sylvester.org/contactus/index.asp

Wherever you end up, you want to make sure that it's a place that uses a team approach, with doctors from several different specialties meeting together to consider your case and come up with an individualized treatment plan.

Both Shands and UM/Sylvester would take that approach; so would Moffitt in Tampa.
