My husband had the exact treatment described by Bob above (and at Hopkins). He did not need surgery on any lymph nodes following treatment. He was treated at Hopkins and he was given the induction chemo for several reasons- tumor had spread locally beyond his tonsil, to possibly control for future distant metastisis, etc. He is doing quite well (brutal treatment for him) and has no signs of cancer.
