Hi Tippe,

I had TORS to remove my lingual tonsils and take biopsies in an attempt to locate the primary. I had a neck dissection at the same time to remove the tumors from my neck. The logic was the same. If they could get the cancer, I would need less treatment. Maybe just rads and less of them. as it turned out, the tumors were extracapsular so I needed chemo but it was 30 rads and 6 chemos.

Recovery has been difficult but it's doable.

Positive thoughts and prayers
