I got a sore throat last July that wouldn`t go away. Got a CT scan in September and was diagnosed with Stage IV tonsil cancer that had spread into the lymphnodes on the right side. I took seven weeks of taxol & carboplatin every Monday along with intense radiation everyday for seven weeks.
I had never been sick and had no idea I might have cancer. The day I was diagnosed I was playing football with my 12 year old daughter.
I went to the University of Michigan and was told I had a 50% chance of surviving. My pet scan last March showed cancer free. I have another one coming up January 2nd and I think about it everyday. I have the same feeling as you, but I hide it as best as I can. I went to the dentist at U of M yesterday and they are concerned about a blister still on my tongue and are sending me to a oral specialist 11/27. Really nervous about that. Everytime I get a pain in my neck I say to myself...It`s back!...My point is we all are going through it. Hopefully some day we can get on with our life.
Being you were a Stage I, I don`t think you should worry like you are. From all my research you will live a full life. Now in my case, I have a 30% chance for a 5 year survival. I just pray I have the chance to see my daughter enter college.....and mayyyybe walk her down the aisle. I`m getting greedy...ha.
Relax kid, you`ll be fine.
