It might be, but if the doctor released him or her, it might just be scar tissue.
2 :
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.
3 :
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.
4 :
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!
