I also had a stage 4 tumor on my right tonsil. I was a T4NOMO. I had IMRT radiation and sailed right thru it. No mouth sores, no burning of the neck, I was lucky. I am currentely going through
chemo. Three weeks on every Monday followed by one week off. I have had no side effects from the chemo either. No throwing up at all. They do give meds to minimize the sick feeling with chemo. I am receiving Carboplatin & Taxol. So far it has held the recurrance in check. Hoping Ken sails through his treatment.
The fear of the unknown is always worse than the actual event.
