@hrhwilliam I suppose we will find out which type of radiation my husband will have after biopsy results and meeting with radiology oncologist and/ or medical oncologist. Hopefully treatment won't be too brutal on him!

@lizzyj58 Several advances in treatment in the last ten years include panel grading to determine cell structure, which often allows new and improved ways to treat these cancers. Common is the HPV virus and panel 16 or 18 positive which has proven very successful in treatment. Some cases use drugs only such as Keytruda or similar base medicines.
We wait and see what the plan is and we go from there. A year from now this should be all behind you. For now, one day at a time.
