Hi. I’m 18 months post treatment for tonsil & lymph node hpv16

What point are you at in the process? Do you have a treatment plan yet? Stick with this forum - we all have experiences to share & guide you.
Yeah have to have two back teeth out next week they have fitted my mask which is so weird but no surgery to remove lump
Hi again. I had six weeks radiotherapy no surgery. Four years plus clear and living well
If by lump you mean the lymph node in your neck then surgery to remove that includes excising lots of others at the same time. This is called a neck dissection and it’s really good you are avoiding it. The surgery is invasive and has long term side effects. Rest assured the radiotherapy will deal with it.
Are you having chemotherapy?

That’s gold standard treatment. It’s not easy but doable. Where are you being treated?
