ENT indeed suggested tonsillectomy with neck dissection and removal of ALL lymph nodes, not just one displaying invasion..

Thank you! Will be back tonight. Heading to meet new oncologist now. Also will have chance to see results of PET which may show more activity in other nodes. not sure. praying not. Thanks again!
