Hi Zakaroo and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and it's natural to want to know what to expect ahead of meetings so that you can prepare.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this in the head and neck cancer group as well as you'll then connect directly with others who have had the same diagnosis. If this is something that you'd like to do clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
