Kathy, I think that mine and Kevin's diagosis were very similar. Right tonsil was the original sight, spread to BOT and right neck. My team thought that after the original surgery to remove my tonsils they could get the rest with the "chemo induction" so that I wouldn't need the neck dissection or have any lymph nodes removed. So far they have been spot on with their diagnosis and treatment......but every scan...every bump or lump sends us in to a tailspin...who knows if this will ever change. Probably not. Nobody knows what any of this is like unless you've been through it!! At least you are with a group that "does know"!!!
