I am 50 year old female. I have tonsile cancer that had spread to 4 of my limp nodes and my tongue they removed all of the limp nodes on the left side of my throat and had to reinforce my throat and soft palate area. and some of my tongue. I was in the hospital the first time for five weeks due to complications of infection. I have lost 40 lb and still having problems eating. I start my raditation and chemo next week. I was thinking of trying to work but right now I am very tried.
