5 year survival for stage 3 tongue cancer

If you are HPV positive cure rates are 95%
Please don’t read anything into the statistics

Stats have to be retrospective by their nature and treatment    has come a long way even in the last five years. 
What did I hear from my oncologist? “Don’t look at statistics, they are meaningless and you are not a percentage” 

Pretty good advice 

I thought that there was absolutely nothing I could do about it so stopped worrying about something out if my control. 

Hi

My oncologist first words to me was I’m looking to cure you and 3 years on almost am still in remission si will take that please kerp iff google anyone can post anything on there snd facts are at least 5 years out of date.

Totally agree with ladies' comments on this subject, most head and neck cancer have very good survival rates, and it's way above 50% although there are no guarantees. I had cancer 3 times in 3 years all linked to the head and neck, the last one was back in 2010. Wishing you all the best for the future,take care.

Hi, 

I had stage 3 tongue cancer, not HPV. I've seen the same statistics

 They are only statistics, each case is different. 

I think, why wouldn't I be one of those in the 37% (yes shocking for my personal cancer) that survives . I'm just over 3 1/4 years since end of treatment so fingers crossed.
