Glad you found OCF, sorry your here. Your story sounds all to familiar, see my signature line. Based on your post, it sound like a HPV related BOT or tonsil cancer. This is both treatable and curable. Unfortunately the ride is harsh. But, the more you know, the more prepared you will be. I could not imagine going thru treatment without the help I received from this site.

Have you husband been on this site yet? For me, the more I researched and learned the faster the fear, anger, and depression went away.

If you want help, all you need to do is ask. My advice, Post often, the more people know about you situation the better the answers are.
