I also forgot to explain that in my first post when my husband was diagnosed it was with stage 1 HPV related tonsil cancer. By the time the doctors made his radiation mask and pulled out almost all his teeth and go their acts together the cancer spread to the lymph nodes and reach stage 4. I just didnt want to confuse people with stage 1 and stage 4 at the time he was diagnosed. sorry, should have been a bit more clear earlier.
