I also have tonsil cancer. Unable to eat for the past 2 and 1/2 years. I have a feeding tube. Just found a new doctor in New York who may be able to perform reconstruction surgery on my throat. I will have skin grafs. If I am not a canidate , I will most likely have a total laryngectomy. As of today I have a trachea ,can not breath due to scarring from radiation. I now can not speak, eat, or breath.
