I'm a breast cancer survivor who successfully survived a 3.9 cm tumor with surgery, chemo, and radiation in 2008. About a month ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer (they found evidence of disease in at least one lymph node). He has had both tonsils removed, and this is the second time he has had cancer. His first bout of throat cancer was in 2006, and an aggressive tonsilectomy was done, but that was all. No consult with an oncologist or anything. I guess my question is is this a survivable condition, and I truly need an honest answer. My husband is 54 years old and otherwise very healthy.
