further surgery would be post TX. My nodes are R 3.5cm and 4cm
adv by my second first opinion said it would most likely not take care of the bigger one. The second opinion says that both need to come out, regardless. Since the second opinion is a head and neck oncologist I am most apt to listen to him.

I am tying not to panic. I just have to do it to get better. There is no other option.
Thanks everyone.

40 yr old. Stage IV SCC found left tonsil. PET/CT shows cancer on base of tongue, floor of mouth, lymph nodes on both sides. HPV 16 pos. 6 weeks of cisplatin, 43 days of radiation. 73gy on each side.
