Diagnosed with Hpv+

I'm over 2 years out of Chemo radiotherapy for head and neck cancer HPV16+, no surgery, tough treatment to get through, very doable, I was 68 at the start, life gets back to a new normal after recovery.

The aim is to cure, 90% plus success rate 

Thankyou just no idea what to do for the best of two evils

Neither will be easy, judgement call only you can make, oncology will advise.... I'm sure others will be on the thread soon with their take on the best route to go down.

Thanks very new only had news yesterday head space not good at the moment

Yes, it does the same thing to most of us, takes a while for it to really sink in, staying strong is not easy but we soon galvanise for the effort needed, do you have someone to help you through.

My youngest son of 20 is still at home but I have older children and my sister,just need to speak with people or are or have gone through this The nurses at the hospital said I could phone any time and ask some questions of course I wrote a list today and rang and all I got was the answerphone and nobody got back to me today at all so now I’ve got to wait till Monday

Yes, weekends and bank holidays are not good for sourcing help, try emailing the hospital cancer ward or your CNS.

Yes, a very good idea to make a list of all your concerns, most of us did this, it's a lot to take in, and quite terrifying to start with.

This forum is a great place to find support and sound advice... lots of good people.

Thankyou for your replying to me 

Post anything anytime, always someone around....take care.

have the choice

Hi and welcome 

Can I ask how you have been given a choice and how your surgeon/oncologist expect you to make a decision? 
Can you tell us more about your circumstances?
