That is promising!

And a little more light on statistics that we love to HATE along with "weasel" words: The expression "likely to die" is valid at around 49% survival rate. Many of us have heard such numbers. Once again the numbers do not apply to an individual.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
