Welcome but sorry you had to join our little club. As you can tell from the posts on your thread, this is not a bashful group (at least the minority of us who post rather than read- with over 6,000 members, it's still easy to round up the "usual suspects" here). I have mixed feelings about second opinions on TX since I went both times with my Georgetown CCC suggestions primarily because they made sense and sometimes too much choice is counterproductive especially if you get a recurrence (god forbid). this way i don't worry about maybe I should have picked the other TX plans. Of course I was lucky in that my team decided that a neck dissection, jaw surgery etc were all too aggressive at first. I am living proof you can get massive radiation and chemo and still get the neck dissection, glossectomy, traech etc later. I remain shell shocked about how much harder the surgical options were on my long term quality of life -with the swallowing, speech, disfigurement issues. So I just wanted to wish you the best of luck.
