Ditto everything you've read from other posters about being here. I remember when i found the lump (mass), was diagnosed and finally started treatment the process took a little longer than two months. And, yes, Tom Petty is right, the waiting is the hardest part. I did find xanax a great anxiety reliever. It stopped my mind from racing around at night. I quit taking it the day i started treatment.

There are a lot of us on this forum that have had tonsil/BOT tumors treated with rads and chemo alone. My team of doctors, including the ENT/surgeon, agreed that they shouldn't cut unless they had to. Their plan was to follow up with surgery only if necessary.

Keep eating and keep us posted.
