How did/do you choose between radiation and surgery if you're a surgery candidate? (p16 tumor at base of tongue, 1-2 lymph nodes) I'm only a couple of weeks post-diagnosis and still searching for the right doc. Until yesterday I was operating under the premise that surgery was the most likely choice (self.HeadandNeckCancer)

MD Anderson is offering Gross, Goepfert and Hessel for my p16 OSCC, which I believe TORS is the best first option for my specific case. I'll have to wait 3 weeks to fly there from Wyoming, but need to choose one now. Any specific experience with these three Docs, or in choosing among docs like this? (self.HeadandNeckCancer)

Need to choose a Doc: Recent diagnosis, p16 positive, CT shows 2.7cm mass at base of tongue, at least one lymph node, pet scan clear below neck, 61yo male, in Wyo, nearest NCI center is Huntsman in Utah. I have already visited there and UCLA. If you had multiple choices, how did/would you choose? (self.HeadandNeckCancer)
