Shanna,
I had the TORS trans oral robotic surgery for my left tonsil which was a success in removing he primary tumor. In my case radiation and chemo was done after but everyone’s cancer is different. The post surgery recovery was tough but I’m much better now 5 months later. Do you know if your doctor wants you to have a neck dissection to remove more lymph nodes?

I’m not sure. I think this was a very early detection and the primary was removed with the tonsil. He only mentioned one lymph node and no radiation following.
