IMO you need another opinion, one from a CCC. Look ENT's are trained to CUT so that's what they will recommend and they did so with my Dx but Moffitt, a CCC, said NO NEED for a ND since they recommended concurrent rad/chemo with the rad as the real cancer killer. I'm not sure that a ND will prevent the recommendation of rad/chemo so do get another opinion and go right to the top and get one from a CCC BEFORE you let anyone cut you up.
