Thanks Brian,

Gary I'd take an extra 6% too except that today I'm at 100% and there can't be any more! laugh


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.

David:

I had a SCC primary in my right tonsil with metastasis to the right lymph nodes. One node was 10cm. I my case I did not have chemo because it was my Drs. opinions that is was too toxic for me and only 2-3% effective. I had a radical neck dissection and radiation. So far this was an OK choice to me. However, I believe the primary location is a factor. SCC with the primary in the tongue can react quite differently from SCC with a primary in the tonsil.

My prayers are with you.
