Not only treatable but highly likely to be curable Paul. They are very skilled at treating your kind of cancer and the prognosis is very good. Strap yourself in and hunker down in here and you’ll get tons of positive help and advice from others who’ve been through this. It will take a chunk out of your life but for the vast majority it is well worth it. 

Hi Paul. Mark is spot on. This cancer is curable. I'm four years plus clear and leading a normal life. the treatment is rubbish but doable. this time next year you will be a new man. Welcome to the community. Stick with us. Somebody is always around to help with any questions and tips as you go through this.

Hi, Paul, welcome to the group from me. Just how MarkEL has said head down, take each day one at a time, the chances are high for a cure, many of us on here have had the same treatment with good results, and still here to tell the tale. It's good that you are having a PEG, that will take the worry of not eating away, if it becomes difficult to eat during your treatment. You will feel a lot better about it all, once you get under way with the treatment. Any questions or worries, just ask away on here, we are all here to help each other. All the best.

Regards Ray. 

Hello. I’m 14 months post treatment for tonsil & lymph node hpv 16 +
I had a PEG so feel free to ask anything. Had bilateral tonsillectomy then 6 weeks of chemoradiation. 
All good now!

Welcome Paul, you'll find great support on here and echoing everyone that's already responded - it's curable, the treatment is complete pants, recovery is frustrating, but strap yourself in and your medical team (and the good people on here) will get you through it!

I had a similar diagnosis last year (left tonsil, T3) the tumour was inside the tonsil only, no spread. I had the tonsil removed, followed by 30x radio and 2x chemo (cisplatin). It was hard work and a mental battle as much as a physical one. I started treatment in a similar timeframe too - beginning 1st week of July and finished 12 August. I had my RIG fitted during wk 3 of treatment, which was not ideal, but I definitely depended on it for about 5-6 weeks. Get to know your body, rest when you need to, make very small goals every day during treatment/recovery (tiny and achievable). Keep a sense of humour (harder some days than others) and stay positive! You can moan and rant and ask questions on here whenever you like! 

Just 9 months post treatment, this May, I was white water rafting! You'll get there!
