Has anyone successfully tried or know of anyone who received the Chemo and not the radiation? My cancer tumor was removed from my tonsil & throat and the surgeon was able to get a clear margin around the enitre mass. I still have infectected lymph nodes on both sides of my neck so the recommended next steps are radiation and chemo. It seems like radiation is fairly adverse and has many long term side effects. Checking to see if chemo only is a viable option. Appreciate any insight.
