Gary and Brian

Thank you for your replies. The ENT did say his survival rate was the same w/ either surgery or radiation and chemo. We will find out what stage on Friday from the oncologist, I am guessing. The ENT did not want to answer that question.
I am so glad to hear that your radiation treatments are working well. Thank you for sharing that with me.

He did go Saturday for a full series of CT scans. He said they checked everything. I am hoping we get the results from these also at the oncologists. Although I did read on here that CT scans cannot show whether something is cancer or not, so I am guessing more biopsies, if they find something.
I did ask him to talk to the oncologist more about the surgery. I hope he will, although I know he is more interested on going the radition/chemo route, after what the ENT said. We do know it has gone into his lymphnodes (neck) that is what caused him to go to the DR., when he had the mass in his neck.
Thank you both for your replies. I know I have said it before, but I am thankful that I found this forum.
