I'm a male, 55 years old. Non smoker Drink beer once in a while, abt 1 or 2 a month.
I found a lump on the left side of my neck in January this year. They removed my left lymph node which was found to be Stage III cancer. The ENT said that cancer does not start in your lymph node so he would have to start looking for the primary source. He referred me to a DR at the Eastern Virginia Medical College. I was scheduled to have them perform a biopsy/removal of my tonsils.
It was found that my left tonsil was cancer. Plan of action is to have radiation/chemo treatments as soon as I get cleared from the dentist.
My boss went on a rant about doing this type of treatment but in the end my wife and I have decided to go with the treatments. Mind you I am a little scared about the ill effects of the treatment. God will see me through. Any helpful suggestions would be tremedous. Thanks and I wish this was one club I was not part of.
Also does anyone out there know if this could be a possible effect from Vietnam War Agent Orange?
