I couldn't agree more with Dinah!I have never heard of tonsil cancer until I myself was diagnosed with it. I have consulted two GP and two ENT doctors and all of them told me that my enlarged tonsil was only infectious . So I was treated with a lot of antibiotics until the lymph nodes on my neck got swollen to the size of an egg. Then I was referred to have a biopsy and ultrasound scan-- stage IVB!People I know simply feel sorry for me that a non smoker with a healthy life habit can ever develop such kind of cancer.Is it really an act of chance or what?Anyway, getting to know 'so many' patients with tonsil cancer at this website does give me enormous courage that I only not fighting the battle alone!
