If someone just found out that they have throat cancer and must go under surgery the next day how bad is it?

Depends where: Modern surgical techniques and advances in the operating room over the last decades has vastly improved. Although the operation may be small or larger be sure you choose a surgeon who has done many of the operations that he is proposing for you.
