Get a second opinion at Tufts but make sure the The Dr. is an ENT Oncologist and ask questions also take someone with you to listen and ask questions. I take it you must be from New England, I was treated at Dartmouth. Then listen to their recommendations and attack this with everything they offer, most alternative treatments don't work as well as the normal protocals. Listen, ask questions and ask away here others will help. Keep a positive attitude and good luck. Semper-Fi Bob
