My advise is to get two very good cancer centers on the method of treatment. I did and they both told me the same thing that radiation was the best for me. Actually I didn't even need surgury which the radation took the place of. the radiation was tough but not intolerable. Beleive it or not the 6 weeks goes by fast. The first 2 weeks is like a non event and the 2 weeks after it stops are the hardest. The side effect are minimal, I have some loss of saliva, a little loss of taste, potential for added tooth dacay which can be avoided with good care and loss of my thyroid gland which 20% of the population looses anyway and I take a very simple cheap pill for replacement. The bottom line is I know the radiation killed all potential cells that could of spread in my neck or lungs and I here 3 years later with 99.999% assurance from my doctors I have beat this. Now of course I can get any other typle of sickness like anyone else but I beat this!
