Don, you say that one "must trust the doctors" But my problem is that the last two docs have advised different treatments. So, I have now a consultation with a third doc at a third institution. I'm just trying to "zero in" on the best path for me. Thanks for your input.

DX in 12/2010. Stage 4 SCC HPV+ BOT swollen lymph. I've spent the past 3 years away from medical treatments. Instead I've focused on good nutrition, active exercise, singing, laughing, oral exercises and such. I've had neither pain nor discomfort. But I haven't been able to kill the cancer. So, I'm now considering robotic surgery and/or radiation.
