Hello Meanne, I too send all my best wishes your way. I also had what you have, but I ignored symptoms and the cancer spread into my lymph nodes. The ENT wanted to do surgery right away, thank goodness, I met with my radiologist before I went through with the surgery. I never had the surgery because my radiologist said she could "cure" me with radiation & 4 chemo treatments. Well, so far, so good! I am cancer free. The treatment was not easy, but you do what you have to so you can beat it. Again, like others have suggested, 2nd, 3rd. opinions matter & could make a big difference in your journey. With this said, best of luck, eat to your hearts content (eat a whole bag of potatoe chips for me!) keep us posted. Stay hopeful & positive! Dianne
