Update:

The test results showed a spot in the chest cavity. We're waiting for the Dr's office to call with either a referral to a specialist for biopsy OR to let us know that it's not a cause for concern. Talk about pins and needles!

The surgery is scheduled for Jan 8th to remove the remaining caner. The Dr. said it would be a very difficult surgery and very painful. He told David the same thing everyone said on here - to eat as much as possible right now, because it's going to be extremely difficult / painful after surgery.

Now, he said post treatment the survival rate is 5 years. That is extremely hard to hear... 5 years??? Surely that's the low end?? If anyone could speak to the accuracy of those numbers - I would really appreciate it.

So that's it for now - just waiting to hear whether or not we're going to see another specialist for biopsy / treatment in tandem with the ENT OR if we're to stick with just the ENT, surgery and Radiation (hoping & praying the spot in his chest is just a shadow or something...)
