Helo Doreen and James, I am not able to add any advice to your questions, however I will say I'm sorry that no one replied to your posts James. Once and a while a post will go "under the radar" and get over-lapped by other posts. It was by no means personal. Generally we are a pretty fun group. (well, as fun as a life threatning illness can be)

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
