Lump in lymph gland and tonsil

Hi I am new and a bit confused as I just had my biopsy and got diagnosed with cancer and the lump in my neck is a secondary and the primary they think is in my tonsil. I have to go for a CT scan on Wednesday and the following week see the specialist and oncologist I am not sure what I want to ask as I am in a bit of a stunned stage. I presently work and don't know if this will stop me working as at my age if this takes a while to cure then at my age I ain't getting another job lol. Can anyone advise me on things I might ask when I see the specialist in about ten days and has anyone had this before ?

    Hi Davy it's unlikely you'll be able to work all the way through it does friend what you do. But the first few weeks aren't usually too bad then whst youmsy hit the wall and painkillers can take over your life. But like we all say we are all different   Technically the lymph nodes aren't secondary cancers they are doing what lymph nodes do they are holding the cancer cells I had 7 lymph nodes affected but nothing had spread to any other organs. 
    the primary eill more than likely ne tonsillar 

    dont stress keep off google as well.
