Joined: May 2006 Posts: 57 | I've seen my husband go through the horrors of tonsil cancer on top of alcoholism.
He completed treatment in November 02, and continued drinking until July of 04. Although he obtained remission, and continues to smoke, I can't help but think that it was very detrimental to his health.
Another suspicious spot has presented itself close to his initial tumor. We are presently awaiting results of his most recent biopsy.
Love,
