hello everybody, my name is Marie, i'm 34yrs old, mother of 3, I live in Norwalk, CA. I was recently diagnosed with SCC in my right tonsil which they removed on 8/4/06. Now it has spread to my lymp nodes and I must have radiation and chemo and I'm scared to death. I'm a very perky person always on the go. And to be told that I might not even have the energy to get out of bed scares me to death. right now I know that I'm stage IV, but I in the process from transferring from a county hospital to Long Beach Memorial. So I meet with the radiation team 8/23/06, monday I'll know when I meet the chemo doctor. I'm afraid that it has spread even further since it's been 2 weeks. I wish I knew exactly what to expect from the treatments. How is it really going to affect me. Please Help!!!!!
