Hi Anne: I am also new to cancer (about a month since an initial diagnosis of SSC). They found the primary tumor on the base of my tongue; it's HPV+, metastatic to lymph node. I am working with a cancer center close to home (Baystate in Springfield, MA) but tomorrow have an appointment with three doctors at Dana-Farber in Boston. I don't have much to offer by way of advice, just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you and sending good thought your way. We are at the beginning of our journeys and we have to believe that we can do it. We can. As I know more about my condition I will pass along whatever might be helpful to you. Best, Michelle
