OMG - what you have been through! 11 surgeries?? I am assuming that this was an ENT or some such who was providing these services, and let me be the first to tell you that you definitely need to get to a Comprehensive Cancer Centre (aka "CCC") where doctors from all disciplines of Cancer - Medical Oncology (chemo - dr aka as your MO), Radio Therapy (radiation - dr aka your RO) and your surgeon work together to make sure that this thing doesn't come back again. It doesn't sound like you were offered those options in the past.

Welcome to the Board, sorry you have to be here, but we sure do know what the 3am postings look like - we've all been there.

Sending you a big hug - let us know how things go today.
