I have no idea what sitting would feel like but I can only suspect sitting would be easier. Diagnosed with stage 1 tonsil cancer. HPV positive . 30 rad treatments although I wish now had not optioned for radiation treatment. Maybe chemo would have been better, or nothing at all. Initially I had surgery, seven and a half surgery to remove the cancer in the left tonsil with neck dissection. . Had difficulty swallowing then, but much worse after radiation. Lost 80 pounds in four months. Still, 11 years later have issues with swallowing. However, I’m alive! My heart goes out to all of you who have been through this hell.
