Hi Mama. Your timeline description is very similar to what I experienced 17 yrs ago. Stage IV cancer on a tonsil that had metastasized to my L neck. 37 tx of Rad, a radical neck dissection followed by a yr of cemo. I wish you all the very best as you begin the process. Good luck and best wishes, Terry.
