Welcome to OCF. I am sorry to hear about your condition. You did not state the staging of your cancer but if it was in the nodes and tonsil and surgery has been done to remove what they found then that is a good start.

As stated earlier we are not doctors, some observers, most survivors or patients. From my time here it seems almost universal that your case would involve radiation and chemo to ensure the cancer is killed off.

But radiation and chemo bring the most side effects. With the type of cancer you have it is quite good chance you will survive through this all. But there are those who suffer long term side effects with varying levels of discomfort and pain.

Those with other conditions like you makes any sort of educated prediction that much more difficult. Ask the questions until you get a solid feeling of what the landscape ahead looks like for you then decide which path you will choose.

Best of luck,Don
