Thanks Mark and Gary. After reading 1 post where the guy had 80 nodes removed and one had cancer in it, it makes me think: "Gee, if that one was left, eventually it's going to rear its ugly head and spread." So now I'm thinking ENT knows what he's talking about and yet, we're grasping for straws. After much thinking, looks like surgery is in the cards, really, no matter what. He does still have that lump in his neck and although it went down some, it sure is still there.

What a blow this has been. But being the ever-optimist, I try to handle one little success at a time. He went to work yesterday (he's a nurse) and did okay. Also he started eating solid foods this weekend (Rad ended 2 weeks ago today 6-20) Dad says, you better take it easy, son. I don't think he's listening, as usual. Thanks guys. Collie
