I had a hemiglossectomy and lymph node removal 14 yrs ago - followed by radiation and chemo therapy. This past fall I had a sore throat, after antibiotics I knew something was off - I went to see my original surgeon. I now have a new primary - on my tonsil and part of my palate - the only option is now surgery - has anyone had this happen ? Has anyone been reradiated after 14 yrs? Thanks♥️

Hello CheryId,

Sorry to hear you have had another cancer diagnosis.

I hope your treatment plan is coming together and you are doing well.

I am sure I’ve read on here a few folks with a situation similar to yours, but can’t recall who it was.

Might have to search for “new primary after radiation, chemo and surgery” or something similar.

Best wishes for you and yours!
