Hi there
I've been diagnosed with HPV positive SCC and I'm starting chemo-radiotherapy in a week's time.
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster, as I struggled to get an ENT referral, but once I managed it, the team have been amazing.
I've had chemo before - but radiotherapy is a whole new, and slightly scary, world!
I've found this forum super helpful already, especially discussions about recovery.
