Hi Would really appreciate any advice or good experiences from fellow sufferers. Only told today SCC found in swollen lymph node in neck. Good news is it’s not spread anywhere else in body according to petscan and chest ct. I’ve been referred to Dr Fleming in Aintree. Ent say it’s treatable. I feel fine, just intermittent sore throat. I need some positivity
Hi again Sooh4496 ........ good that you have been told that this is treatable.
You may want to post in our Head and neck group that you have already joined and even have a look at our Skin cancer group as there are a good number of folks with SCC post in that group.
Hi Sooh
T2N1M0 tonsil cancer HPV16+ finished chemoradio June 2023.

Thanks Peter I’ve just posted in there thanks
panicking so much. No staging yet that will be done by dr Fleming when I see him. It was discovered in a swollen lymph node in my neck and they say it must be in my tonsil or behind tongue area. I’m terrified.
Hi Kick.it
Good luck with your treatment, I was diagnosed with HPV16 plus Tonsil cancer February 2023, Chemoradio finished in early June 2023, treatment is challenging but outcomes for HPV 16 plus are excellent.... have a look at the head and neck forum, lots of info and chat
