I suggest getting all Doc's on same page. It is difficult to assess what to do, if you are getting several conflicting opinions from different MDs. MDA is a great facility. Your RADONC, MEDONC and ENT should all talk regarding your treatment regimin and then explain things to you. Neck disection can be a big deal, mine went smooth, but I know of the problems that can occur. I think my greatest asset besides my wife, was my docs all meet often to discuss treatment and results. They still collaborate 2 years post treatment.
