Just had a chat with the consultant and it's come back as stage 1 with no spread to nodes or elsewhere and hpv positive. She's offered me the Pathos trial at Derriford which is 2 hours from me in Cornwall so if I have to have more treatment then that will be a bit of a challenge. As it's stage 1 with no spread they are hoping to just do a laser tonsilectomy and neck disection to remove the lymphs that they would expect a cancer to spread to. Tissue samples then checked for margins and cancer and if all good then no more treatment just follow up scans as usual at Royal Cornwall which is closer to me.
Has anyone else had this level of treatment and been fine or has the cancer come back sooner and required further treatment.
The consultant is calling me back later this afternoon.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks everyone
Hi. There are a few members who have been in this trial. Use the search function I’ve ringed in the picture. You’ll find a few posts.
Exciting( I suppose you can call that …sorry) to have Robotic surgery.
