Airplane, Please try to relax! There are many things besides cancer, and if it is you have every possibility of winning the fight. Remember it is NOT cancer until the pathology report says so. I know these are just words but I have been exactly where you are.

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.
