That is reasonable: For stage 4 either chemo or radiation is recommended along with surgery. Wish you a successful treatment and continued strength.

Best doctors!: I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. Even if you had the best doctors answering questions on this website, they would need to see you personally along with all your test results in order to try to advise you. If i were in your position, i would seek the best head and neck surgeon and oncologist, either in or out of your country for consultation.Perhaps get a few opinions. Then follow their advice.

Try it: Stage 4 is very advanced so try chemo. But beware of the side effects.Surgery can always be done before or after chemo.

Advanced Case: Advanced cancer. Highest cures with combined surgery/radiation. Make sure your team is experienced.
