There are probably many whom would benifit from hearing about your experience. Cheers to your surgeon for her/his suggestion. I hope you have many many years to enjoy your retirement. 
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
