Dear Cindy, Like all the others who answered your posting, I would like to welcome you. I also want to tell you that many of us have survived (as caregivers and patients). My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in June of this year, he also had lymph node involvement.
At first I couldn't even think straight. And then we got caught up in the every day issues involved in treatment and some how just did it. I look back now and wonder how I did it. I continued working the entire time. My husband had chemo and radiation which lasted until the beginning of Sept and then he had a modified radical neck disectomy in October. He has been in remission ever since and feeling better and stronger every day. We are going on a ten camping trip to San Diego in May . Just keep your eye on the light of the tunnel. This board has been great. Every question and concern I have had has been answered, sometime I didn't even have to ask the question because some one else did. Good luck LM
