Just Diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer - How to Treat?

My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer, same as you, a few lymph nodes in neck also. They didn’t do surgery since it already was in lymph nodes so recommended three chemo sessions and 35 radiations. They told us this was the best treatment for him, it was stage 2. It is hard, and since he is 78 harder. Just finished treatments and trying to heal. Good luck.

Thank you cris2 for sharing that. We still have not made the decision on surgery vs radiation/chemotherapy.
Waiting on pet scan results then another doctor meeting, and will make the decision then. Either way will be difficult as all of these stories confirm but trying to focus on the bigger picture that there is life after this ordeal. On that positive note I wish you and your husband all the best.
