Bravo Raymond! Thanks for giving me some hope. I have stage III, SCC, in the right tonsil and finished treatment 20 days ago and I'm still having a hard time. Somedays it seems like I'm going backwards. The radiation burns seem to be getting worse. It takes a lot of patience (which I have never been good at).
