My husband is being treated for tonsil cancer with metastasis to a same sided lymph node. He will have completed his course of chemo & radiation in one week.The tumor on the tonsill is completely gone at this point. The doctor plans to do a surgical biopsy on the lymph node to make certain that it is clean. We agree with this plan of action. It will be very reassuring if all is clean. However, I am just wondering if any of you out there that have had similar surgery can tell us what to expect. I love this site and I wish you all the very best of luck. Thanks LM
