Goodmorning Linda,
I too found the source of my cancer was my tonsil, that was only 10 months ago, since then I have done the radiation, done the chemo, had the neck dissection and am currently doing HBO, but that is not standard and hopefully you can avoid that part. Like all others have said you can do this, not standing onyour head of course but very doable. Every thing that Amy said in the previous post is right on the money. The only thing I will add is if you are not getting a PEG tube you need to look into that right away, other than that go with how you feel, will it get you down and make you cry? of course just go with it, lean on your family and friends. They want to help. and of course come to this site you will not find a better group to hang with, we here will guide you as best as we can. Hang in there my dear all will be well.
Lenny
