Hello evryone, my name is lenny, I was diagnosed in late sept with cancer in right tonsil that had spread to lymph node, in fact that is how I found out, I have already completed 33 imrt radiation as well as 3 sessions of chemo with cisplatin, and am battling the usual taste problems, saliva problems with some difficulty swallowing, I am having a radical neck dissection on wed Jan. 11 and I sure am scared out of my wits, still using the peg tube , I keep trying different foods daily, few work, however yogurt does as does mild salsa, can you believe that. Are there many long term surviors once it has spread to the lymph system I am so scared as to what they will find.
