My brother Chris is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday this week at MDA. The spot on his gums was dysplasia and they are not going to worry about that now. They treated it and it looks OK for the present time.

The lesion on his throat was just under 2 cm and they think there is a 20% � 40% chance that they can get all the cancer in the surgery and he will need no further treatment.

The flip side of that is if they cannot get clear margins; If that�s the case they are going to remove 5 molars, do a modified neck dissection and go through a full round of radiation. He won�t know what the outcome of that is until he wakes up from the surgery. He is hoping for the best case but prepared for the worst case.
Keep him in your prayers if you can.
