Paul I am so sorry you are going thru this! It is so much to digest all at once. Many members here including myself have mentioned NCI cancer centers as the way to go. On your first post a couple weeks ago, I gave you a link for the countries top centers. The multi disciplinary team approach with experienced specialists is the way to go especially with your history.

While the decision is ultimately yours to make, we can offer you info, our ideas and moral support. We arent doctors but do know quite alot about oral cancer and everything that goes along with it. I always recommend seeking out the very best medical care at the top cancer centers and following the doctors advice to the letter. What works for one person may not work for another. This makes deciding even harder! Each choice you were given sounds like it would work but there are no guarantees that either would be successful. What Im trying to say is that both roads are rough and your current health will play a big role in how well you get thru it, no matter which you choose.

If I were in your position, I would do my very best to build myself up as much as possible with good nutrition, high whey protein, hydration and high calories. Then I would put my trust in one of the doctors and go for broke.

So sorry about your difficult decision! Best wishes!!!!
