Welcome to the site and I am sorry to here of your plight. I had tonsil cancer and no surgery so I can't tell you about the surgery from direct experience. If they add radiation and chemo to the mix, which they often will, several weeks after surgery, I can speak to that. Many here have had similar surgery and I am sure that they will share their experience with you.
