I am glad to have found this sight. My name is Gary and I was diagnosed with cancer on Feb. 2,2006. Diagnosis was made while having a biopsey of the lymph nodes. At the time my Dr. suspected Lymphoma. Unfortunately it turned out that I had cancer in the lymph node, but this was not where the cancer originated. I was sent to another Dr. and he scheduled me for a radical neck disection on March 2, 2006. The surgery found that my right tonsil was where the cancer had originated. In addition one of the lymph nodes that was taken out had cancer. Since the cancer had spread to two lymph nodes I will be having chemo and radiation treatments. My first Erbitux treatment was on Monday, March 17th. I am going to begin IMRT radiation treatments next week.
I am interested in finding anyone who has been on a similar journey to mine. Thanks for letting me share.
