I'll be starting IMRT with chemo in a few weeks for a stage 3 SCC on the right tonsil. It was diagnosed as a polypoid tumor, which are the most common form of colon cancers as well. Thanks for your info on proton therapy I am going to ask about that on Friday when I meet with my radiation oncologist. I am sure that would have that available ar UCSF where I will be treated.
