I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this diagnosis. I agree, getting another opinion is a must. I can't help with anyone in particular to contact for a second opinion. The Cancer Council should be able to give you some advice and names of specialists who can help you. They would have lots of experience dealing with all different cancers and who's who in head and neck cancers in your state. The West Perth Cancer Council contact number is 9212 4333.
Best wishes
Karen
