Just thought I'd do an update after mdt today. I now know my cancer is T2N0M0.hpv +.apparently small 25mm.
Decided today that as it's small , I'm a prime candidate for surgery. So that's what I've opted for ( very scary) . Apparently 85-90% it will be cured ( I'll take those odds).
Team very honest about pain etc, but once it's out I'm starting the road to recovery, in my view. They obviously can't say whether I'll need RT/chemo until after.
So should have neck dissection first in about 3 weeks to remove lymph nodes then main op about 2 weeks after that. I know I've got a long road to getbdiwn yet but feels like weight lifted off my shoulders now I know which treatment I'm facing.
Had alot of soul searching this week and am very grateful to anyone who answered my worries and anxieties.

Exactly the same as me. Except I wasn’t a candidate for surgery.
Best foot forward. Hopefully you won’t need my further treatment

Good evening Lins, this is the same route i went on, at least you know what is happening now which hopefully has helped with your worries etc, im sure you will be ok once the operation is done, please keep us updated if you feel up to it, take care.
