Update:
I just wanted to let everyone know how things have progressed since my prayer request back in Feb. That seems like a lifetime ago. Dh has finished his treatments for throat cancer...35 radiations and 8 chemo. There were many rough days and nights, but he was so brave through it. Now starts the long road to recovry from the treatments! His main hope it that his mouth heals well and he is able to play French Horn again soon(his profession)and hasn't lost too much hearing. Eating without the feeding tube is a close second 
Thank you all for the prayers and kind words. Through this whole thing we both new we had so many people praying for his and the family, it really helped give a cushion of peace and comfort.

Hi everyone,
Part of me doesn't even want to post about this because I feel if I write the words it'll be more real. But we need all the prayers we can get, I think.
Friday dh went had a biopsy done of a lumpy mass in his tonsil area and also a fine needle aspiration of a mass in his neck near the lymph node. Unfortunately the news is not good. The growth near the tonsil is cancerous and there is more cancer under the skin, back in the soft palete area. This will probably be treated with chemo, radiation or surgery. He's seeing a specialist today or tomorrow for more diagnosis opinions.
What we're waiting on are the results of the biopsy of the mass in his neck, near the lymph gland. If that's cancerous he will be at stage 3 or 4. We're really just trying to hang on for the next few days until it's determined how advanced this is. If it's just isolated to the tonsil area it should be very treatable.
Either way, he'll be have chemo most likely and maybe surgery but the Dr. wants to avoid too much cutting. To pass the time until the other results are in, we've started researching cancer-fighting diets and things of that nature. Treating with mind-body-spirit in addition to the traditional ways.
I keep in mind "God's will be done", but if I could ask for prayers that it is an isolated growth that's our best hope at this point. Also, prayers for courage for both of us and strength physically and mentally for me to best help him and the kids(9,8,4,2)through this.
He is not RC, though he is Christian. Any prayers for his spiritual journey would also be wonderful. Thanks you all so much.
