Hi all thankyou for your messages x it's good news well good news compared to what I thought x the lump is localised it's not spread and can be cut out and just radiation in that area so so pleased with that result I really hope it works and he gets through it x they also checked his swallow with a stethoscope and she said it sounds as though you are swallowing and your lungs sound good which is even more good news x still not allowed to drink but he goes for a swallow test in few week after this operation :)) xx
