Maybe I am just being contrary today this is the second post I've kinda gone against the grain. If you've known for two weeks I am assuming at this point they've had you in for bloodwork etc... and done your practice radiation. If not then I would be pissed. Also you should have visited the dentist as well. When are they planning to start? It's been three weeks since your tonsillectomy. I would think they will have you starting next week (since it's a relatively minor procedure - though admittedly NO FUN when you are an adult) You should be fully healed by now. (my procedure was 14 hours long and they gave me 5 weeks of healing time from completion of surgery to first day in the oven.) In between I had two cts, blood work, and my radiation teaching and radiation planning (Practice run) and dentist appointment and hearing test. Despite KNOWING they "got it all" post surgery I was still happy for it to begin. For you since based on you signature - you have only had your tonsils removed ( not the node ) I would be pushing them to start ASAP!!!!!!!!!! Since you likely aren't all clear - r/t the reactive node. Stress to them - repeatedly the sooner the better - do NOT let them make you wait.

The plus side to all this is you do have time to fatten up and HPV related cancer responds well to chemo and rads - but still more than 4 weeks is too long. hugs.
