I am sure that you will get a lot of answers here as many of us or should I say most have had these rpoblems, You wil need a very good ENT and Oncologist to take you thru this long and painful process, I am a little older than you at 73 and have been going thru this for 3 years and still fighting, but am alive and mouthy . Go back to the UK where the treatments wil better benefit you and there is much More experience dealing with this than where you are at the present time. I have you in my prayers and thoughts. I am sure you will be hearing from a lot of survivors very soon. Jim
