I wouldn't rely on small town clinic. I would get the best; I would try to get to the nearest Cancer Center. smile It seems to be divided with surgery/chemo/radiation vs chemo radiation. If you goto a major cancer hospital they will have a tumor board that will chose his treatment. I recommend at least 2 2nd opinions. Good Luck! smile
