Our radiation oncologist has an interest in head and neck cancers and practiced in Hong Kong where he got a lot of experience with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.  Haven't met the medical oncologist yet.  If he needs to have surgery at some point I imagine I will steer it towards one of the major centres in Sydney.  
 Thanks to all of you for your support.
