Steve: Tonsil Cancer HPV16. Discharged 14 March. Now on regular checks.
Well, I finished my treatment on the 20 January, and I was discharged on the 14 March. Since then I have been on follow up appointments. A few weeks ago the consultant didn't see anything untoward, and life is returning to normal. Outside of the ubiquitous dry mouth everything appears to be healing.
Today, however, is my first follow-up MRI scan. I'm being sent to a new hospital that I don't know, and the dreaded contrast needle. The rational part of me says this is a routine process, and it is unlikely to return. The devil on my other shoulder, however, is causing anxiety.

Good luck. All will be well

Hi Stephen
Well done.
You have got through the hard bit and I'm sure it's still tough when you have the next steps. Chin up and all will be just fine.
Keep positive
I have my mask fitting and CT scan next Tuesday. Had my surgery 6th April so I'm just starting the tough bit. Surgery done me in physically and mentally for a couple of weeks. I have the same cancer as you. T1 N2B M0 HPV positive
I hope the next 8 weeks fly by and the treatment is kind to me.
