Thank you all for your responces. Someone has helped me find a place for a second opinion. I am so excited. Two heads are always better than one for sure. As far as my ENT is concerned, he is an excellent surgeon as I am a high risk patient. My only problem is I want my questions answered and to be an informed patient and am given the option to be a part of the decision making in my case. As I am the one person who will have to live/or die with what is done/or not done. I feel good about the information you folks have given me and helping open my mind to many things. Thank you and Bless you all, Angel
