Chris had his surgery earlier in week. They could not get it all as the path reports kept coming back with cancer. I assume this means it was much more differentiated or the boundaries were not as clear as the doctor assumed. Anyway, path forward looks like radiation to the throat � removal of 6 molars and area of dysplasia in the mouth. They want to give him two weeks to heal before getting back to it. MD Andersons tumor board will meet and give him official recommendation sometime this next week
