My tonsil tumor was 2cm, removed without clear margins. They told me it was stage II, bacause of the size of the tumor. I believe it was written T2N0M0.I required full neck radiation and chemo. I am confused about staging as well.


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.
