Hi Anita,

My husband had the same stage tonsil cancer as your husband, and it has been 3yrs. 7mos and just the other day he was talking to someone about the Doctor being so point blank about it being 10 percent if he had no surgery and only went the Chemo/Rad Route and 40 percent if he did the whole nine yards, which is what he did. I keep telling him statistics can't always be correct because everyone is different. I said I also think the Doc tried to scare him a bit too, he said it was aggressive and needed to be dealt with.
It bothers him that when he sees his ENT/Surgeon the Doc seems very surprised that he is okay. (Knock on some wood) sorry he is due for an appt and CT scan soon.
Dan usually doesn't talk about the cancer,but he says everytime he looks in the mirror you can't forget about it because with the type they had it is obvious, at least it is with my husband Dan he had a radical neck disection and he gets annoyed with people doing double takes, or asking about his "accident"...I just keep telling him at least he is around to be stared at!!!
I have told him that so many on this site have never went into remission and have had one battle after another....Time to count our blessings.

Take care
Sherrie
