Hi Kerri,

Induction chemo messed me up from completing treatment. After the 5 days of TPF I was hospitalized for 6 months, could not walk. That did kill the cancer, but it came back, as just chemo does not cure tonsil cancer, so I could only do radistion, no chemo due to my body no being able to take it. Then had a rcuurence and had a RND. Then recurrence again, Neck dissection, which had positiv margins, and cancer came back, so I had Anothet neck dissection, radistion during surgery, and a pectoral flap. I have no real support team. I support myself, bsdically. I go everywhere along, and lucky to get a ride home after surgery.
