    I had a cancerous right tonsil removed, but it turned out to be B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma. At first, the doc thought it was HPV related.

    I am currently going through this and debating whether to have robotic assisted removal or chemo/radiation

      It’s 2024 and I just had the robotic surgery to remove one tonsil, part of the tongue, and 4 lymph nodes. Doing radiation now luckily they said no chemo. So far all is good but have to get through 4 mores weeks of radiation. Staying positive and trusting these doctors who are all very experienced at treating HPV carcinoma. Treatment is at Barnes in StLouis. Hope you’re doing well.
