Hello Lisa, Welcome!

I do not have direct answers for you but there have been several here with the same cancer and several using an obturator. Hopefully they can answer your questions.

Take care


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
