Welcome! I am glad you got that 2nd opinion too! I felt a little weird telling my ENT that I wanted to get a 2nd opinion, but he said that he would if he was in my shoes, so off I went. My 2nd opinion doc at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance concurred with my initial diagnosis, so for now we're just in watch and wait mode, but I'm hopeful in that my DX was very small stage 1, that I'm done with this. I wouldn't be sleeping though, if I hadn't gotten it. Sounds like you are doing well!

This whole experience has pushed me into hyper vigilant mode though, when it comes to health. I finally went through with the dreaded colonoscopy (two years later than recommended) last week - clean as a whistle. And I remembered a cyst in my leg and had it checked out by my doc - also no issue. I'm sort of afraid of turning into a hypochondriac, but I guess it's better than the alternative!

Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones and this is just a small blip in my life, and just makes for a story of "how I spent my summer vacation" down the road.
