I think you would be wise to go along with the surgery. The earlier this is dealt with the better the outcome,especially as you have ear pain. The radiotherapy is to remove any of the mass that the surgeon cant remove. Unlikely to be cancerous but anything taken should be sent for biopsy to make sure all is well.
