October 2023 had both tonsils out left on cancer and tissue removed from back of throat. I also had neck surgery and 43 lymph nodes taken out luckily only one cancer. Over all surgery wasn't that bad. Yes throat was somewhat uncomfortable and ate ice chips and drank alot of water.
Neck surgery was no problem at all if anything hurt it was the drain they put in.
I opt out of radiation after doing homework and talking to others. I now go back to surgeon once a month so far alls ok for now.
