@drmarchell1, I add my welcome. As @hrhwilliam suggested, I moved your comment to this existing discussion about a new diagnosis of tonsil cancer here:
- Just Diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer - How to Treat? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/just-diagnosed-tonisl-cancer-how-to-treat/

I did this so you can read previous posts as well as connect with other members who have experience with tonsil cancer like @sapphire1158 @slmoore0626 @brad78 @lizralpol @cmickelson15 @jclassey @laconiaborn54 and others.

@drmarchell1, I know this is all very new and I bet you have many questions about what to expect. Have you been told about the treatments you may be having? How are you doing?
