Thanks for clearing that up. If it was just one lymph node involved - it would be T1 N1 M0 - T is for tumour size, N is for Node involvement and M is for distant metasis.

In my humble opinion, I would get the radiation AND the concurrent chemo. The chemo offered will likely be Cisplatin which isn't like the well known chemo (no hair loss), but its job is to enhance the efficacy of the radiation.

This is an aggressive cancer and needs to be responded to in kind. Again, IMHO (and I am not a doctor - only a patient), I would hit it as hard as I can tolerate. Recurrances are not fun.

Good luck with your decisions - keep us posted. You will no doubt hear many opinions about this, take them all into consideration.
