Hi all,
I have been reading some of your messages and am getting both relieved and horrified at the same time. I had my right tonsil and extensive margins removed March 23. They found the stage 2 cancer in right tonsil only and will be sending me for a Pet scan to look at an enlarged lymph node on the left side of my neck. The Oncologist did not like how much weight I lost during the surgery. I only weigh 115 lbs and am 5' 6 1/2". I have gained 2 lbs, was 113 lbs. I think he is afraid of what the radiation might do. I agrred to have a PEG tube put in before. Frankly, I am really afraid of all of this. I keep getting nauseous just thinking about it. Wish I could be more positive! I am even reading "A New Earth" by Eckard Toole. Seems to work for awhile, and then I just feel like doomsday! Any advice on how to get through all this? I have my first appointment with the radiologist this week. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Marilyn
