I now have tonsil cancer. 4th cancer diagnosis in 12 years

hi everyone. I have just returned from hospital with the devastating news I have tonsil cancer. I had anal cancer 5 years ago and breast cancer 10 years ago and vulva cancer 11 years ago. to say I am totally devastated is an understatement. I have to see an oncologist next Thurs to discuss treatment but the surgeon said it will be 5 weeks of chemoradiation. this is what I had for the anal cancer and I don't think I have the strength to do it all again. I am hoping there might be another option. as every time I have have had treatment in the past it has left it's Mark both medically and phisically. I am totally gutted
