Sandy, so sorry to read about your situation. I feel 3 weeks is too long to wait for second opinion. It's also critical you feel very positive and comfortable with your medical team and that feeling is obviously missing here. Like Ray, I had surgery first to remove infected tonsil and lymph nodes and then went into radiation. Didn't have chemo as PET scan was all clear following surgery but they couldn't be sure about the "margins" so had to have radiation.

Sure others here will offer their guidance. Keep us posted.
