One other thing to note. Since my husband had robotic surgery to remove the tumor (on his tonsil) as well as a dissection that removed the effected nodes...the radiation did not have to destroy a primary tumor; it was just looking for potential microscopic cells. We met a number of patients while undergoing treatment. Those where the tumor was "attacked" by the radiation seemed to have different side effects.

Wishing you the best in your treatment. The time actually goes very quickiy. You will soon look back on your "autumn to forget" and the next thing will be a festive Hoiliday season. Before you know it!
