Got the call today from Dr. W: pathology confirmed there is cancer present in the right tonsil and it was spreading. A good thing we got it out when we did. He will be setting an appointment with Dr. H (radiology-oncology at Methodist) for us later this week/early next to set treatment. We may also do one more visit to Mayo - we'll have to see.
And, as everyone we had talked to prior to the tonsillectomy had told us, it is confirmed that having your tonsils out as an adult is HORRIBLE. Last night was really tough: Matt's throat is so swollen that he can't relax his neck/tongue and when he starts to fall asleep he ends up basically choking on his tongue and needless to say, is not able to sleep. So....he (we) are going on his third night of basically no sleep. Dr. W phoned in a prescription for steroids to help quell the swelling - here's praying they help!
