Hi my name is Tony
I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of my left tonsil September 2007, I had neck dissection surgery first with 30 lymph nodes removed but only 1 with cancer. In late October I started radiotherpy with 35 treatments and went through it relatively well compared to a lot of other people but it was still no walk in the park, lost weight etc but I feel really good now.
I had a CT scan 1 week ago and the report came back with a suspicious thickening behind the tongue and next monday I go into hospital for the day and my specialist will use a scope and biospy will be taken.
I suspect the radiation did not kill the tumour or it has spread to some other part of my throat, I asked my specialist what was next if it did not kill the tumour he said most likely more radiation and probably chemo this time.
A bit nervous and worried but will post outcome of biospy next week
Regards
Tony
