Wlildebill, I am so glad you are seeking treatment! The quality of the ENT surgeon, the radiologist and the chemotherapist is of most importance. My next concern would be timeliness!
I know you must have been through a lot to get to this point in your decision about cancer treatment and you will find so much help here by people who have similar diagnosis and treatmen plans. I am sure this journey will bring many critical questions, just know that you are not alone!!!

Welcome, Sophie
