Post again when you know what the staging of the cancer is, as there are different treatment issues for each level. Between now and your appointment the best thing that you could do is roam around the main body of the web site and learn as much about things as possible. Be sure that they do a complete work up on you, and this should include MRI/CT scans of your neck and chest in addition to obviously the area where the cancer is located. When you have specific questions after this next appointment, we'll all be here to help you decipher the issues and choices... and we'll all be pulling for you as well.
