Hi Linda,

I had stage IV tonsil cancer as well with a single node MET.

Looks like he will take a similar path as I.

Anything I can do to help, just let me know.

It gets a little rough at the end, but it goes fast. And if he is healthy it will go even faster.

Try not to get too scared. Honestly this is a beatable deal.

The biggest thing is to fight.

Fight, Fight, Fight. Stay positive and persevere.

I am sure you will have questions. That is why we are here. I am always avalible if you need anything. Drop me a line. [email protected] is my e-mail.

Good luck and god's speed.
