I'm so sorry to hear this Sue. Such a worry for you. I know it's difficult but for now, try to focus on the good news. It's curable. Meanwhile, all of us at the KT will be praying for his speedy recovery.

I too am very sorry to hear this. I'll add your son to my prayer list.

Sue, I am so sorry to hear this. Have a friend who had it. She is doing well. It's been several years, since she had it. She does still have issues with swallowing some foods, and does have taste issues, but is healthy. Be aware that the radiation and chemo will be very hard on the blood flow and bone in the jaws. I will add your DS to my prayers.

I am so sorry. Sending good thoughts and gentle hugs for both of you.

Know that you will be in my prayers.

so sorry to hear about your son. My sister in law was diagnosed with sinus cancer which is also very rare but unfortunately it was quite advanced by the time it was found. Hopefully with the tonsils being much more visible your son was diagnosed very early. Good luck and best wishes for his treatment.

I'm thinking positive healing thoughts for your son and hugs to you both.

Hoping that your son's treatment will be effective in getting rid of this. So sorry for the worry that I know you are experiencing.

((((Sue-VA and son))))

I have added your son to my prayer list. Keep us posted. . . .

Your son will have good care. I am glad he has a positive attitude. Please take care of yourself.

Sue, I'm so sorry you and your son and family have to go through this. Medical professionals don't take the word curable lightly, so that is good news indeed. Please keep us posted.

I'll be saying prayers for you and your son.

Sending prayer and healing thoughts.

I am sorry about your son. I hope the best for him.

Sadly, among smokers and tobacco chewers, cancers of the lung, throat area, mouth and lips are common. I recall during WW2 when a connection was made to cigarettes. Roll your own cigarettes had became popular. A particular cigarette paper was blamed for lip cancer. Whether that was a primary cause of not, a change was made in processing these papers to remove certain chemicals.

I'm so sorry to hear that news and I can imagine your shock and concern and being too far is so hard on you. We hate to see suffering at any age. I will pray for your son's recovery and that he can keep a positive attitude. God bless you at this holy time of year. Keep the faith.

Sending prayers.

All the comments and prayers are much appreciated. There was a glitch in the treatment plan for Wednesday; the radiation machine wasn't working. He was okay with it, though, and still handling the whole thing very well. Thank you, everyone.

I'm so sorry. Best wishes to your son as he goes through treatment.
