it wasn't clear to me from your previous posts that she was already in a CCC. What tests have they done so far, PET or PET/CT, etc.? Has a tumor board been held with input from the MO and RO (the rest of her immediate medical team)?
Joanna's post may indeed be correct about one opinion may be sufficient.
The reason I mention the immune system is that it is more common to see patients in their mid 50's with H&N cancer.
What is she taking for pain management?
