What Does Tonsils Cancer With Neck Lymph Node Metastasis Mean?
My brother has been diagnosed with cancer. There is a lymph node in his neck that has tested positive for cancer. However, his doctor believes the originating site may be in his tonsils. He is scheduled to have his tonsils removed immediately, then undergo chemo and radiation, then removal of the lymph node. What does this all mean?
