Welcome, Don. As you can see you are not alone with the caner on the tonsil. My 1st reaction was "Who ever heard of tonsil cancer"? My Mom's was "I knew I should have just gotten those cut out when you were young". Back in the 50's tonsillectomies were being done "just because". Hope to hear soon of your scan results.

David R. 65 yr old male non-smoker, light drinker, stage 3 or 4, depending on which doc you ask, scc rt. tonsil, 2 nodes, 7 weeks radiation and chemo. No surgery. Teatment ended 3/20/08. PET scan 8/08 showed no cancer.
