Sorry that you have a need to be here. For the moment you will simply have to wait for the testing process to confirm what the PET scan is showing. From the little bits of info you have it is likely that there will be discussions about radiation therapy and surgery. Be sure he is being seen by the best people you can find. Hopefully you have a Comprehensive Cancer Center nearby.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
