Hi I had stage 1A cancer of the tonsil diagnosed in June 2019 (neck lump). I had surgeries in July to remove the tonsil tumour and 26 lymph nodes. Followed up with IMRT in October. Then following my annual edit list in January I noticed my peak lung function was very low. I told the cancer team and got a CT scan followed by a PET-CT which confirmed it had spread to my lungs - that’s incurable. Started palliative chemo in July and just had a scan after 3 cycles and was pleased to learn that I have had an excellent response and the tumours are now 50% smaller. Still can’t be cured but now maybe I’ll live past the end of next year. I’ve learned a lot and would be happy to share if it helps anyone. I have a Wordpress blog called “dadthebikeracer” if anyone fancies a look. PS I’m 52 and generally very fir and healthy.
That's great news that your tumours are now 50% smaller!
It's also great to hear that you want to help others by sharing your experiences. I'm sure they'll be lots of people who could benefit.
