It appears your diagnoses is very similiar to mine (and planned treatments). I got through this better than most and almost 2 yrs out no real issues. So you can beat this. This forum and the people have great advise and practical experience. My suggestion is to gleam all the info that you can. No matter how great your docs are, the information here they can't provide....they have not gone through the treatments.
I also did a modified ND after treatments, my ENT like yours wanted to triple check, and also clean out any dead tissue. They decide on a case by case basis but with BOT with significant lump in the neck it seems to be the Std. Very minor surgery for me. My weakness at the start of /and during treatments were ice cream and milk shakes. Good luck in your battle.
