I don't know how I found this posting about you, but I can understand the fear. After finding out Tom needs more surgery to clear margins (modified radical) he will need 6 wks of radiation treatment. He too had a plugged ear and was on antibiodics, but a lump in his neck was the giveaway. We have been told this is a curable cancer, but we both talked this morning and we are both still scared. Best of luck to you, keep us updated. Barbara
Barbara, CG to Tom SCC IV dx'd 8/06, r. tonsil, T2,N2,M0. Modified radical, 30 nodes removed 9/29/06. 6 weeks radiation and 3 weeks amifostine. Tx ended 12/13/06. No chemo. TNB, Tom and Barb, too.
