hello to old and new friends....want to let those recently diagnosed, that this cancer is not only survivable, but beatable too. I got my diagnosis of Squamous cell carcinoma, small tumor on rt tonsil, metastasized to lt. Standard chemo with cisplaitin, and radiation. I had immediate permanent severe hearing loss with tinnitus, and bad naseua for over year, lost 90 lbs. I was unable to eat via mouth for close to a year, but managed to save a weak swallow by drinking water and whole milk. In Nov of 2022 I will be 10 years cancer free. I feel blessed with every day. I know some of you need to hear this......THIS CANCER IS BEATABLE....

Love and prayers to all who have to endure this awfulness....
