Welcome to this site, Chere. You are in the right place to get lots of information and compassionate support from people who have been where you and your husband are. My son's cancer was not on his tonsil, but a lot of people here have had the type your husband has and have come thru just fine. Until you find out more, take a look a the information available from the links on the home page and from the search feature. This can help you with questions you might have for the doctor or for asking questions here. Can you tell us more about what the doctor said or if surgery is planned or the kind of treatment suggested? I know it's a sick, scary feeling when you first find out, but the more you can find out, the better prepared you will be to fight it and start feeling in control. I'm sure you will be hearing from others here so stay close and know that we are here for you.
