Erik, The coughing fits used to bother me a great deal at first. Now they are not a problem at all. things do get better. If my memory is working it was less of a problem by 6 months or so.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
