Welcome.......so sorry that you need to be here, but with SCC of any part of the mouth and throat, THIS is the very best place you could come for valid scientific information, and for compassionate advice.

You might want to go to the search feature and type in "tonsil". You will bet tons of listings......and go to the information pages and do the same.

You can even start a new "thread" and title it something specific like, "I need information about SCC of the tonsil." Then you will get answers from people who have had that exact thing.

Much of the information here is the same for all of us, and some is specific to the particular situation of the individual.

Keep exploring the site.

I'm sorry that you have reason to be here, but this site is full of caring, hopeful people who will help you get through this.
