I agree with Pete, make sure it absolutely is cancer first. If confirmed, I would also highly recommend getting her treatment at the Carbone Center at UW-Madison. Wish we had done this right away.

Dr. Hartig is the H&N specialist there my Dad is working with now and they have been great. Much better coordination with the full compliment of specialists that all work together as a team rather than with the separate ENT, RO, and OC that we experienced with his first go-round.
