Hi all,
I met again with my consultant on Friday there. She suggested the route of further surgery in the tonsil area and neck dissection (2 nodes) as being a good way forward. The further surgery I understand is due to them only having a small margin from the first operation in which I had my right tonsil removed (this contained the primary site). Surgery would be part of PATHOS.
I then met with oncology who indicated that CRT would take care of the cancer and that surgery was not required.
I’m really stuck as to what option to go with as I have been told that both are good options. My tonsillectomy and tongue base surgery was pretty rough in terms of recovery but I managed in the end.
I have a few more questions to send to my cancer nurse to answer but I was wondering what anyone might think in terms of the best way forward? My consultant did indicate that her preference would be surgery, especially as I’m 39 and would hopefully be able to recovery well from it.
I’m just a little confused
Hi Chris, my story is the same as yours (more or less) only have they haven't said what group I could be in, they are going to wait for the pathology results. My 2nd surgery is on Mon 23rd Sept. Fingers crossed for both of us.
