I am seeing an ENT Doctor in Rome, Ga. I have left tonsil cancer with the lymph nodes involved. How many, I don't know. These are questions I was hoping to find out what to ask the Dr. Stage? unsure but my tonsil looks terrible and I developed a sore throat and thought I had strep throat but I didn't have a fever so I found out it was cancer. He didn't mention any radiation. Just had a ct scan, pet scan x-rays, and the Dr. said I needed surgery to remove the tonsil and because the lymph nodes were involved I would need a neck dissection and then radiation. Thank you for replying as this has already given me info on questions to ask. My husband died Feb.14, 2008 and I have been sick ever since. But had no idea how sick I was.

SCC left tonsil, tonsillectomy with additional tissue removed 06/10/08, a few teeth on top left side removed 09/05/08,recurrence before treatment started at BOT and tonsil area, 35 IMRT treatments began 10/15/08, and Cisplatin IV (began10/16/08) weekly for duration of radiation.
