Hi cindy,

The time between hearing "you have cancer" till they know where and what is the worst! I had to wait 2 weeks myself...If I can offer one thought for you: it sounds like whatever he has they have found it early and that is a very good thing. Try not to worry about what he might have to go through because at this point we would all be guessing. If you read the through the many posts here you might see some scary sounding stuff. The treatments vary depending on several variables. Some have worse side effects than others. I didn't need a PEG tube, and I was home 4 days after surgery. My tonsillectomy hurt worse than anything else. Radiation if he needs it is painless when it is given. The effects of radiation vary quite a bit from person to person. The point is try to deal with things one at a time. It probably is not a walk in the park but we all got through it. keep asking questions and let us know.
