That is exactly what he is having done. So glad to hear yours went well.
I am a major researcher on this type of stuff. The hubs is not nearly as much. I feel like it is my job to be as informed as possible so that I can ask intelligent questions and be an advocate for myself (or him in this case).
I have made him read all kinds of stuff on the side effects of the radiation, what to expect after surgery etc.
I was up until 3 lady night reading and sending him studies on the surgery so he would have a clear understanding of his decision

@in absence. I would choose the,modern u to date surgeon. My Mayo surgeons were top notch! My experience from SSC HPV tongue and lymph node cancer is: do your research, find a surgeon you trust, don't second guess your surgeon, once you begin treatment stop googling.
Read all the info your docs give you. But don't go down the Google rabbit hole and second guess your doctors and your decision. Be strong and confident in yourself and your team. Its a battle but you will win!
