If I were in your shoes I would go across the bridge to Buffalo to Roswell Cancer Center for another opinion.
I'm sure they have a website on the internet.
I didn't go through what most have on the forum, but if I didn't go to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa I would have been in a heap of hurt.
The ENT Surgeon here in Fort Myers told me my bottom teeth would be pulled, a peg tube put in, radiation and chemo. Going to Moffitt to a top surgeon he told me, your tumor is growing out and not in that's a good sign, you'll have surgery, a few lymph nodes removed, the report will go before the tumor board and they will decide if I needed Radiation or Chemo.
See where the difference is between a Cancer Center and and and let me put this nicely an ENT Surgeon. I highly recommend a Cancer Center.
Keep us posted...Take care,
Connie
