Tonsil cancer - just been diagnosed. Has anyone had radiotherapy for this?

I have just been diagnosed with HPV tonsil cancer. They did not remove my tonsil but I will be starting radiotherapy in five weeks. Has anyone had radiotherapy with out surgery? Thanks

  • Hi Radiotherapy or radiotherapy with chemo is the gold standard treatment for hpv driven tonsil cancer. I’m fast approaching 8 years since my treatment was started. I’m living a fab life. Treatments hard but if I can do it anyone can. My blog and the thread might help
