Hi Lenny,
Just another note of hope. My husband's a teacher too and just returned to the classroom. He was worried about hoarseness but it is improving each week. He was diagnosed in July and completed treatments end of Sept. Hang in there - he no longer has his Peg and sometimes thinks he should have kept it a little longer for weight gain purposes but he's gaining slowly anyway. He reports that he really is feeling good though in a new way. He too found his tonsil cancer because of the lymph node enlargement. Take care.
