The final edit did not come off as bad I was afraid it might. I agree that many people are missing the point. It's not up to me WHAT the general public does with the information, but it is important to me that they get the information. Do what you will with it, but at least you are armed with all the facts. If I had this information in 2005, I could have been spared at least the chemo, I think.
I wish GMA had gotten the little facts straight---like the "6 months of grueling chemo" I had. I had three rounds of cisplatin, 2 months+radiation. It's not that hard to get that kind of stuff straight.
Left tonsil SCC, HPV+. T2N0M0. Tonsillectomy 3-07, bilateral radiation, cisplatin 3x, Tx completed 6-06. Clear PET 4-01-2008.
Thyroidectomy 5-9-08, resulting in permanent surgically-induced hypoparathyroidism and adrenal problems. Bummer.
