Treatment is, chemotherapy and radiation, and in the recovery stage, some maintenance dose of medicine to check and prevent further aggravation till final, total cure of the original malady: add to that, your own cheer and resilience, and faith, which is very important! good luck, all the best for total recovery soonest!
It might be, but if the doctor released him or her, it might just be scar tissue.
Surgery followed possibly by radiation is standard treatment for cancer of the throat. Chemotherapy is usually reserved for cases where a cure is not possible.
Yes, if any cancer is left, regardless of the size, the person still has cancer.
They usually do radiation too. Small lump might be scar tissue.
Hard to know, but they either have a plan to get rid of it, or not.
If they thought it was cancer, they would keep treating it. Chemotherapy continues until the Dr. says you're done. It isn't a fixed thing, like "10 doses and we'll see if you're cured or you will die." They continue giving it until it has done the job.
