Great to hear they gave you a good diagnosis. I'm 15 months out from tonsil cancer with 2 lymph nodes. I had 3 high dose chemo cisplatin and 35 radio sessions. The whole treatment kicks the stuffing out of you for sure.But it's effective!. Best wishes for a cancer free future.

I’m glad you are on the other side of it. Your story sounds really similar to mine. Had hoarseness that progressed, ENT said it was allergy, finally biopsy, was squamous cell carcinoma on my left vocal cord. I went to Mayo and had a laser newer laser surgery in July of 2021. And been cancer free since. Have check ups every 3 months. God bless!

Went through this last year came off a 5k jog with a real sore throat had a bit of acid reflux at the time went to see the GP he put it down to the reflux about a week later started to lose my voice went back was referred to ent had a scope was told 99.9% nothin sinister but to get voice back better lesion had to be removed n would be biopsied, had follow up appointment was told it was carcinoma in situ stage 0, then had laser surgery after the laser surgery was told the biopsy itself removed everything, go for a check up every 4 months. Stay strong if your battling this 🤲🏽

Thank you for this. I was diagnosed with right sided tonsilar cancer . 7 sessions of chemo and 35 radiation sessions. I’m into week 4. Loss of taste is the worst all pain is in right side. Yup they keep saying get ready it’s gonna get worse. Thank u for this! I appreciate your giving of yourself

I am sitting my husband down to watch this as he is going thru the same journey and he is in a lot of throat pain with ten more sessions of proton radiation to go. I am searching for something to help his throat.

Thank you for sharing your story. Right now I'm going through something similar. I had an extremely hoarse when I went to the ENT and they ran the camera down there and said I have laryngitis caused by ulcers. I'm on Bactrim until the end of Sept and if that doesn't work I go back a few days later for a biopsy and to explore treatment options. Wish me luck cause my voice is completely gone now. It's good to hear somebody's story who's been though it and is ok because I'll be honest between learning that it could be cancer and not being able to talk a lot of the time other than to myself has kinda put me in a dark place. Thanks for sharing a be sure you keep an eye on it. I've been reading about it and from what I've read it is very treatable but there is a high risk of it coming back. Good luck.

My husband is now in his last week of proton radiation. He is struggling to swallow. It is difficult for him to swallow the boost drinks even just a bit of it. He has no taste. He has a lot of phlegm and his throat feels pencil thin to him. He coughs a lot and it is brutal for his throat. We were so happy he was only two lbs down but when I read below it seems that as he enters his last week things begin to really get bad to get calories in. Drs prescribed Magic Rinse for his throat which has lidocaine in it but it has been useless. He finds a bit of short relief with advil but the coughing is a struggle. Thank you for posting your saving journey for us to know that he is not alone in his symptoms stage to stage.

God bless you brother, how is it going now? I start my radiation therapy this August 8th, stage 4 throat cancer. I hope I don't suffer as much. Take care and God bless.

I hope you are doing ok. I hope your cancer free, I wish you the best in life, I hope you live a long happy life. Much respect

You sound great I am glad you made it through this.

Your videos give me hope. I’m also Eagles fan now living in Florida after growing up in southeast PA. This afternoon my radiologist will map my head and throat and fit my mask. Hopefully, my experience is no worse than yours, but I’ve heard some really rough stories from others. Thanks for making these videos.

I'm so pleased that they caught it early, & you are now recovering, take care ❤

So glad to hear u pulled through & beat this. Thank you for sharing ur testimony

Congratulations on your progress. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Wishing you the best for the future. I have had a slight difficulty swallowing for about a week now and noticed a hoarseness in my voice. Hope it’s nothing but I have been a heavy smoker my whole life (64 now).

Really great that you broke down the videos into weekly sessions since they provided a clear step by step picture of what you went through. I have seen other UT videos and you blessed in that you did not endure the suffering those other survivors experienced. Did you catch the cancer early? Did you have chemo (or I just missed it)? Thank you for sharing your journey. I have been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the tonsils. I will begin my treatment next week. Stay healthy and prosperous with your roofing business. Go Eagles!

Thank you, for your relevant information needed without side tracks,! I'm at the commencement stage of radiotherapy starting in 2 days till mid Jan 2024 for head and neck cancer. Have had 4 separate areas removed with good results. I am looking forward to seeing February onwards, hopefully maintaining a positive attitude like yours. You have provided me with the information I needed for my next few months

Good day sir, I will be starting my treatment on the left vocal cord soon and was trying to get information on the process.. Your videos have given me a ton of hope and I thank you from my heart.. You have done a beautiful thing sharing your experience with others...

So very happy for you!

Hope you’re well. My wife is an NP at Sloan Kettering in NYC. Keep on rocking!

So glad you’re cancer free ! ❤
