    Oh No (Diagnosed): We thought it was a swollen lymph node and just an infection. I could tell by the way the ENT doctor spoke to us that he thought it was cancer. Tears just started rolling out of my eyes. I was so scared. I could have been knocked off the chair with a feather. The source of the cancer is from the base of his tongue.
    Tomorrow we go down to the James Center in Columbus to have the PET scan read and discuss "the stage" and treatment. My fear is that it has spread to other parts of his body.
