He had squamish cell cancer in his lymph node and had it removed routine surgery we thought for cycst. Anyway when we spoke with the medical oncologist he told us that if we didn't do anything about it the cancer would grow and shut off his throat. We decided to do some research and went forward with treatment. We are 9 treatments away from being done with the radiation. We will have probably three chemos. Good luck iwht your treatment let us know how you do. Pat
