Mayo Visit 2: Quick Update from Road

Well. A good day (tiring) but more hard stuff to process...Three top thoughts as we head home after a very full day of cancer:
1) Chemotherapy highly recommended by drs here (Dr. O is solo in his thinking from earlier visit but in his defense, pathology was still incomplete and the tonsils thus primary was still unconfirmed),
2) Chemo puts survivor rates MUCH higher. Now knowing primary was in tonsils and was spreading, how can we not do it?!
3) Treatment will be tougher; the recovery time will be longer. Chemo does add "more" across the board but seems very worth it. 

More details tomorrow.
