Does anyone know of a SCC sensitive Dental Surgeon in Northern California or near?

I agree that I want to go to a specialist, and Stanford doesn't know any.

I can always get it done at Anderson, but it will take a week or so, and then we have to wait the 2 weeks after surgeon to do the simulation and start the radiation a week after that, regradless of where I am going for tx.

Barry, I think it I go to ONE MORE cancer center my entire family and Seth would disown me forever.

Although, the EGFR drug combo with IMRT at Hopkins sounds like the smartest choice... :-)
