Elizaebth, What disturbs me is that it sounds like you weren't doing regular follow-up checkups with your ENT when the cancer recurred. Or did I misunderstand that? He definitely should have been keeping an eye on you if it was decided that you didn't need radaition or chemo after the first surgery. Anyway, I agree with everyone else that at this point, you need to get to a CCC and get advised about your treatment there. It's quite possible that you can GET the treatment closer to home (which is what I did), but you need the opinion of experts about what that treatmant should be.

Lots of us are here to give you support through whatever you have to go through.
