PJE -
I am happy to discuss my treatment in detail if you have any questions. I will say that reading patient forums early on scared the hell out of me early on. Treatment options have really changed quite a bit over the past 5-10 years so do your homework. Compared to many others, my treatment was easy. I had robotic tonsillectomy and 6 weeks of proton rads. There are still side effects with protons but, generally, not as severe as IMRT. Hit me up if I can help.
