Dear Jake,
I too had squamous cell cancer of the tonsil..left side. No, I do not smoke or drink for that matter. The ENT Doctor said it is rare to get this unless you do that. I don't know about that. After the treatment..chemo and radiation and of course the original surgery I am feeling better 5 months after treatment. I still get tired fairly easy. I only work 3 days a month as I am on disability. I am waiting to get my strength back before I commit to full time work. My white count is still low. Think positive, pray and give alot of love. That is what your sister needs. Love
