Thank you for the response and below is the additional information you are requesting.

I had surgery to remove the left and right tonsil and 18 lymph nodes on the left side of the neck. Two of the 18 nodes were involved. The surgery was performed on 15 August 2006
The right tonsil was negative. The results of the tissue culture disclosed that the cancer resulted from a virus HPV 16.

I started Radiation IMRT daily treatments for six weeks with concurrent Chemo (Cisplatin and Erbitux) weekly for six weeks. Completed treaments on 27 November 2006

Currenly in recovery mode. My questions/concerns involve time frame to recover!!! Cannot seem to answers from the Doctors but they are saying everything lloks good.
