                        Got swollen glands, went to dentist, then oral surgeon as recommended (have wisdom teeth still entact @ 47).  Oral Surgeon indicated uncertainty about gland swollen as result of wisdom teeth, suggested Otolaryngology specialist.  Turned out to be cancer.  Lump on right side of neck.  Did 2-MRI's, one for neck, one for brain, did one CAT scan, small needle aspiration, etc.  Doctor says stage 3-4.  Is recommending radical surgery for next Friday including removal of mass, neck muscles, jugular vein, and nerve that works right arm.  I would prefer a less invasive solution.  Any suggestions
