Recently diagnosed with T1N2 BOT hpv cancer. I just want to say hi on this group.

Hi Lizzie, Good luck for Monday it’s quite a nice experience having the mask made and you will feel as if your under way in your treatment and path to recovery

Hi Lizzie. Welcome to our little community. 
It’s normal to be scared but knowledge is power and I’m sure your team has told you HPV driven head and neck cancer is eminently curable. 
You are in excellent hands at the Marsden. 
I had BOT SCC T2N0M0 treated with radiotherapy only and I’m 30 months clear living a good life. 
I have a blog linked to below if you fancy a quick look 

My two bits of advice at the present is to trust your team and stay off Google. 
Come back and ask anything. No question is daft. There are plenty of folk here to offer you support

Loads of people on here who have actually been through the treatment..I know it's scary now...but as your treatment plan developed you will be more reassured....it's not an easy treatment..but eminently doable...any questions ask here... good luck
