My 61 yr old husband,Dennis,was diagnosed 10 days ago with T1 N1 tonsil cancer. Dr Clarance Sasaki and tumor board at Yale came up with protocol of neck dissection surgery to remove about 30 nodes, at which time bracytherapy seeds would be put in tonsil tumor. After recovery from surgery, he would have followup daily radiation and cisplatin once a week...The problem is we got a second opinion and this dr., an oncologist said this treatment is out dated and he thinks Dennis should have the chemoradiation with no surgery, unless it is needed after the course of chemoradiation. Pet scan set for Monday. Can anyone give us advise as how to decide which protocol we should follow??? We desperately want to make the right choice.
