Re: what the hell,
Had the same issue a little over 2 years ago, they removed my right tonsil which was cancerous, the surrounding tissue and all the lymph nodes in the right side of my neck. Wasn’t one of the most pleasant things I’ve ever done but it went well and 2 years later I’m still doing fine. Hang in there Jim and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Re: what the hell,
Its not just second opinions. I had to find the RIGHT doctor to get my heart fixed. That meant a six hour drive to another city, a night in a hotel and then see the doc and drive home.
Totally worth it.
Went back in a month, got tests, went back home again.
Drove down the 3rd time in six weeks, had the procedure, came home, been fine over a year now.
Yes, the gas and hotels costs MONEY. Total of five hotel nights and 1800 miles at 25mpg/$4 a gallon - But in the end, it was all worth it. Not all doctors are equal.
I talked to others with my condition and went with the guy that sounded like the right guy. He was.

Re: what the hell,
You can say that again, they used virtual reality to work inside my heart without cutting me open. It involved an MRI image taken the day before, radar antennas stuck to my chest and back (no, really, there were four of them) and two "imaging techs" that ran the equipment while the doctor did the work. Eleven holes in my body but no incision at all.
And cancer treatment is just as hi-tech. I've lost count how many around me have been thru cancer and are doing fine.

My father years ago underwent surgery for the removal of a tumor found near his rectum during a colonoscopy. Surgeon made him sign a paper that authorized the removal of his rectum if they thought the cancer couldn't be completely removed without performing that surgical procedure. They ended up having to do that & he came out with a permanent colostomy (1st thing he asked me after surgery as they were taking him to his room from post-op). He underwent chemo & radiation treatments for a few months and was monitored over the following 5-yr period. At that point he was declared "cancer free" and all of us were thrilled with his recovery & prognosis.

Re: what the hell,
We are doing better and better against cancer. My dad got throat cancer in the early 90s and my nephew got testicular cancer just before that.
Both were cured, tho my nephew needed chemo and surgery but he's been fine ever since. Dad died six years later - cancer never came back.
Still plenty of reasons to pray...........
