You didn't mention what kind of specialist/s he is getting advice from. I will suggest he see a radiation oncologist and find out what they have to say. Radiation is no picnic but you don't want to gamble with this cancer either.
It is great they caught this early but I would be cautious about letting your guard down.
I hope this helps.
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.
