HPV Tonsil cancer: I'm very nervous about chemo and radiation

I don't have any alternate advice, but I am about to begin chemo/radiation for HPV tongue/tonsil cancer. This group has been encouraging and honest about both treatment and outcomes. I wish you the best in your journey and hope you find peace of mind and spirit.

@jkhagen1 thank you. I start my first radiation treatment on 9/30. 6 weeks are planned. Then chemotherapy. Although I don’t know the schedule for that yet. I had surgery to removed right tonsil/ cancer plus 3 lymph nodes. One of which had extra nodal extension. Which I have been told is not good . I’m 74 years old. Not embarrassed to say I’m scared of all this treatment and the side effects …. Some lasting years. I’m new to the group but have appreciated all the information everyone has posted. I hope one day I can help others with advice as all of you have. Thank You
