Hi,

Like virtually all of us here, we are not trained oncologists or ENTs, so we have to rely on the experts. First think you can do is make sure you trust your doctors 200%. That you can control. If you have full faith in your doctors then you need to trust them and take their advice. If you get different opinions, it does make things more difficult. In our case, it seems the recommendation is rads and chemo.

My own experience was fairly easy. I trusted my doctors, the tumor board agreed, so rads and chemo was an easy decision. I do know they both felt pretty strongly to be aggressive and do the most you can to kill it first time around. And that fit my personality to throw as much nukes at it as possible while not killing ME.

Plus, I've not had one day where I second guessed what was done. Even if there was recurrence, I know there was nothing more or different that was done that would have been any better.

Good luck!
