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

@woodsy1 a couple different times over this winter. I noticed a fairly large infection in my throat. Thought it was just your typical sore throat. A little bit then it got kind of large and gross looking so I went to see my family practitioner agreed it was not normal looking and sent me to ENT they did the biopsy just last week and found out it was cancer.

@rllampton was it HPV cancer and where was it located? I had HPV tonsil cancer. I am seven years out following surgery, radiation, and chemo.
What is your treatment plan?

Thanks just curious . Heartbreaking words " you have cancer". But we seem to rebound
after a spell and just do what needs to be done , get into treatment.
My dentist noticed a lump in my throat and said you need to see an ENT. A week later I
got those heartbreaking words.
Funny thing is I kept busy through all of it except a few down days after 3-4 weeks of chemo radiation.
Was able to function normally through most all of it drove myself to and from the facility etc. So its all doable like so many others here that have gone before us can tell you.
Try to keep a good attitude and your chin up and you should do ok.
