Cooper,

Good luck with your appointment, and hopefully it brings some type of resolve for your concerns.

I never had a tonsillectomy, although the chairman of the head and neck cancer division did the robotic surgery on tonsils, probably clinical trial, which was new in 2009, and was one reason I went to that ccc. My surgeon was in the same hospital under him, but he didn’t do the robotics, so I went on to do Induction Chemo 3x, massive dosage of three chemos, which was to be followed by 7 weeks chemoradiation, I only did one week of induction chemo, and made it home for the weekend, but was hospitalized at a local hospital that day. From there things went from bad to worse and was unconscious for a month, in the hospital and nursing facility for 6 months, and couldn’t walk for a year. I actually had to learn to walk again. Thereafter, I had 6 more recurrences.
