Hopefully the day will go quick for us both and he won't be in too much pain afterwards. They are taking a bit of bone from his jaw and having a look at his throat (possible biopsy there if they see anything suspicious). Fingers crossed it will all go well and we get the all clear again. Then we can move on to HBO. I will keep you all updated on how he goes.
