Today's surgery turned out to be a biopsy on the growth on my neck. The doctor said the frozen section did come back showing lymphoma. If it had been squamous cell of the neck, he would've gone ahead and taken lymph nodes out of my neck, but lymphoma is treated differently.
He said we (we as in me and my wife Audrey; I'm not speaking in third person) should come back in 10 days for a followup after the full biopsy results are back, but we'll call tomorrow and try to get him to get us in with an oncologist sooner than that since results from the first surgery did show lymphoma as well.
It's gotten to where all of the waiting seems ridiculous.
