I had a tonsilectomy which was biopsied and found out I had cancer. Then the neck dissection. I then headed to radiation where the radiologist told me what stage I was in based on the lab results from the neck dissection. Radiation and chemo was started after healing. So...it was about a month before I knew the stage of my cancer. It was hard to make the decision on what type of surgery to go for as I did not have a lot of information. I did not know about this web site at the time. Sure wish I had!! This an excellent place to learn what questions should be asked BEFORE your friend starts treatment. They are lucky to have such a supportive friend! - Kris
