Gary: Thank you for your response. I'm sure I'm suffering from information overload; I'm just so perplexed by the many treatment plans offered by various doctors across the U.S.

I sometimes forget that Buzz is nearly 77 years old, and was sincerely surprised by the aggressive treatment suggested by ENT at Baptist, due to his age. I'm sure if he had been younger, or if the cancer had been elsewhere, a totally different regimen would have been recommended.

I appreciate your clarification!
