I had transoral robotic surgery to find an occult tumor. They suspected the tonsils but it was actually in the vallecula and 2mm. I discovered my cancer in a similar way - swollen lymph node. Only one lymph node was detected.

This allowed my team to determine I could have radiation only treatment - 30 days for 60 Gy. I am 9 months post treatment and happy with the course I took.

I was treated at Stanford.
