Hey Stephen,

Dr. Robert E. Harley with Mecklenburg ENT led me through the initial tests and diagnosis. He handled the sugery as well at Presbyterian in Charlotte. Did a good job and I see him every 6 weeks or so. My RO is Dr. Stephen Plunkett with Radiation Oncologists of the Carolinas dba as Matthews Oncology Center. They are also afflicated with Presbyterian. I continue to have follow up visits with him as well.

I must say my road was different than so many that post on this website. Different in that I really placed my faith and trust in Dr. Harley's diagnosis and consultations pre surgery I had with my RO. The personal pressing issue was that my daughter was getting married in late October and all this hit us like a ton of bricks in early September. I opted for the surgery immediately so I could recover in time to walk her down the aisle and then deal with radiation tx post wedding. Very thankful I did as I was in very good shape for the wedding which was 5 weeks out from surgery.

You're a heck of a lot younger than me, so you will recover even quicker! Good luck with your decisions and feel free to ask anyting.
