Just to add my two cents here, I was treated at a CCC and had only surgery. I go through the same thought processes as Sharlee and Gary and so many other members. Brian's point about dealing with only one doctor is a very valid one.

You should be getting a second or even a third opinion and hear the recommendations of specialists that treat head and neck cancers. Surgeons, radiation oncologists, etc. My surgeon would not operate without me having a radiation oncologist see me first.

Good luck.
