Hello Michael,

Glad you found us but sorry you had to. Heed the advice posted above. "Who better to ask than one who has traveled the path ahead of you"

I was a stage 4 right tonsil patiant and will be two years out from dx next month. I had met to the lungs last June and six months later after chemo my lungs were clear! You will get past the pity part rather soon. You will need the energy to fight this diaease.
You will find many survivors on this forum. It may be a rocky road but so many of us have traveled it and are around to talk about it. You can to!!!
I hope your decision is made soon and you stick by it. Don't second guess yourself. Time to put on the boxing gloves!!!

All My Best, Danny Boy
