We too, are getting a second opinion at The Siteman Cancer center in St Louis on Thursday. Alredy met with an Oncologist and today the radiologist from another CCC in St Louis. We will decide based on the treatments offered at both. Our ENT surgeon insists on Erbitrux and IMRT and if any of the specialists have a difference of opinion, we will go back to square one. One center is around the corner, the other a bit more of a treck! By the end of this week we will be ready to make that all important decision about treatment and begin the journey. Really frightened, but moving forward. We know there is a light at the end of this tunnel! Good luck!
