Curt,
Tough call on the new drug. I had some mouth pain, A lot of if it was radiation scatter from metal dental fillings. Ouch. Later on the pain was deep in the throat. My cancer was BOT which might be lower than the tonsils. ie, Tonsils cancer may be worse for mouth sores.
Glad to see your treatment plan has firmed up and you have a start date. To me, that was a good first step. Use the time you have now wisely. Eat, have fun, and get as much work done as you can. Come December things you take for granted as easy will become difficult. I am thinking car, garage, gutters, yard work, house maintenance.
Good luck and keep us posted.
