HaZel. My blogs below 

My advice would be to go back to your GP.  4-5 weeks with something like this should be taken seriously and looked at.  Just to say anything serious is "unlikely because of your age" isn't an answer.  Push for a proper diagnosis.  As RadioactiveRaz has said, it's more than probably NOT HPV cancer.
Good luck.

We are not doctors and cannot diagnose.  As Hazel has said it is unlikely that you have a cancer there.  Most of us have HPV at some stage or the other in our lives.  Most of us deal with the infection without knowing about it.  A very few of us go on to have a cancer and statistically that occurs many years/decades after an infection.  I'd be more concerned for your ex as she definitely has a problem.

As to putting your mind at ease...  A lot of us have presented with symptoms that are generally pain free and seemingly relatively insignificant.  That is the great danger with cancer in it's early phases - you really don't know about it.  When the pain and trauma comes it is often well developed. 

I would certainly go back to your GP and ask for the results of your blood tests.  Also ask about your stress and anxiety at not having an answer to the issues you have presented with.  As a last resort you could always go to an ENT specialist privately.  If you search the forum there are a few people that have taken that route.
