Are you sure that they said he has lymphoma? That is an entirely different kind of cancer, and what would seem most likely is that he has a metastasis of his OSSC to the lymph nodes of the neck, not lymphoma.

If he indeed does have lymphoma, the treatment plans for two different but synchronous cancers really have to be carefully considered (only at a ccc) as they are going to need to use different chemotheraputic agents, perhaps not simultaneously. Two distinctly different primaries in an early stage cancer patient is very uncommon.

I think he needs to go tho the docs in Seattle. That treatment plan sounds appropriate and has less morbidity associated with it.
