Husband was dx tonsil ca and we have just completed Rt and chemo. Guess I am somewhat surprised they did not want to remove the tonsils. When I asked about this they said there was no reason because they were treated with the RT. makes sense to me, but also having them removed sounds reasonable too. They added because HPV + not necessary. Thoughts?
