Good luck with your treatments--stay strong!!! I awoke from a routine tonsillectomy to the 'C' word. It is quite shocking, when you are otherwise feeling well. Staying positive throughout your treatments can help enormously.
Left tonsil SCC, HPV+. T2N0M0. Tonsillectomy 3-07, bilateral radiation, cisplatin 3x, Tx completed 6-06. Clear PET 4-01-2008.
Thyroidectomy 5-9-08, resulting in permanent surgically-induced hypoparathyroidism and adrenal problems. Bummer.
