Hi Wendy
I had stage IV tonsil cancer and never had to have surgery. They gave me 2 rounds of chemo to shrink tumor then 3 more rounds concurrent with 38 radiation treatments. I have been cancer free since March 2006.
You need to ask lots of questions and decide on the treatment you feel most comfortable or confident in.
Best of Luck Steve
