Hi everyone, my partner had his results appointment today and it is HPV+ Oropharyngeal, T4N1M0 on base of tongue with radiotherapy/chemo as treatment. We have another appointment tomorrow after the MDT to go through treatment plan in more detail. We're very pleased (if that's the right word to use!) that it's HPV + and whilst the treatment won't be a walk in the park, it's better than the alternative. They did say the scan showed an incidental lesion on an adrenal gland but it's very rare for it to be anything related and is very often benign but have referred to adrenal MDT 'in the background'. Consultant said he wasn't worried so we're not either.
A tough few months ahead but an excuse to eat plenty of chocolate and yummy things during December! Thanks for all your reassuring posts, it definitely helped while we were waiting and the consultant/nurse seemed fairly surprised that we started talking about the TNM staging system and treatment success rates before they did lol!
Thank you for your message! Lovely to hear that things are good with you. Sooner we get started, the sooner it will be done. Luckily we live close to the hospital so that’s a positive. My employer has also been very supportive too saying that I can take whatever time I need to care for Andy during treatment. Have a great Christmas
