I just wanted to add also that Kelly and I had almost exactly the same experience, right tonsil, advanced staging, radiation and chemo only at a major comprehensive cancer center - Kelly at MD Anderson and myself at UCSF. Except I had IMRT. We both suffered in much the same way, in the same time frames, and have had a similar recovery experience as well.
I tell people all the time that this is your best shot. Kelly is living proof, hopefully I will be right behind him.
I hope that you post the 4 year anniversary on the survivor section in July. We need to see more victories here.
