Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 150 | Lenny, my father had tonsil cancer that meandered to a node. The surgery was a breeze. What was nerve racking is that they put him under first to biospy the primary. If it was positive, they weren't going to move ahead. Well, it was negative and his nodes were too. He was in the hospital for only 2 days. YOU WILL DO GREAT LENNY. It is so cliche but after what you've been through the surgery is nothing. Think positive, I will pray for you!
