As I said my RO and ENT both gave me three basic options.

1. Do nothing and die.
2. Surgery, which would involve removable a section of the jaw bone for access to the back of the throat.
3. More radiation. This would be just as long and more arduous as the first go round.

It really wasn't much of a choice or difficult decision.

While it may seem to be grasping at a thread, I feel that all possible options must be explored and attempted.
