I am really sorry to read this. It just isn't fair nor right! I would also recommend going for a 3rd or even 4th opinion. Over the years, I've been to 4 different surgeons at 4 different hospitals, and ultimately ended up at Johns Hopkins, which is also one of the best H&N centers in the country. Look into clinical trials and other options.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
