Was your diagnosis Squamous Cell Carcinoma? Did you require a feeding tube or were you able to swallow?

Same with me...tonsils and a bunch of nodes on left. Surgeon was adamant that I hold off on radiation and just observe so that's what I'm following. Oncologist also said he would do low grade but would not make much of a difference. He's watching me too. Just did my Navdx test today. Hoping for best.

After surgery and lots of homework and talking to others I opt out of radiation. Chemo was definitely not talk about and my radiologist didn't really push it. I go to doctors once a month and so far so good. The feeding tube and the dental work really had a huge impact on my decision
