(bad news) but this last post suggests they got all the cancer? (really GOOD news) can you clarify?  This is the place to share frustrations and success stories alike. Your sister will likely do much better than she is imagining right now. She needs to hear it from the horses mouth(s). We are here for her and you!  take care
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.
