Ben,

Listen to above. A good Cancer Center is the best way to go. I know for a fact. I went through 5 Dr.s who had no clue. They all told me something different and how my cancer should be treated. If I had listened to the ENT today I would have no teeth, I would have had radiation and chemo and NOT surgery. I went to a Cancer Center my surgeon told me your tumor is growing outward not inward that's a good sign, you'll have surgery and if no lymph-nodes are involved you won't need Radiation or Chemo. Thank God for Moffitt Cancer Center.

As far as health care I'm sure they will work with you. I have health insurance but with a 3K deductible. Moffitt worked with me.

Check out a Cancer Center, hope all works out for you, keep us posted.
