Mary, did you notice that the word --- surgery, it kept appearing over and over in the bio? What about being ENT specializing in head and neck cancers? In no way am I discrediting the doctor, it only confirms what I told you earlier. Surgeons cut. Please seek out another opinion right away to get what Eric mentioned...another set of eyes. What about going to a cancer center? Hopefully, there are hospitals there that specialize in cancer. Im not familiar with what other countries offer.

Good luck with everything.
