Docs found an enlarged but soft lymph node had masticized from an HPV infected tongue base one year ago. I resisted surgery, chemo, and radiation. Now the lymph node has doubled in size and somewhat hardened to about 5 x 3 cm. Some weight loss from 168 to 154. No discomfort, no pain. Never smoking nor drinking Been low key, reserved. Trying to be more active and outgoing. Diet change: no added sugar, grains, no processed foods. Mainly fresh fruits, raw and cooked vegies. Now adding beef to diet. Might consider radiation in future. Does anyone know stats on length of survival without medical intervention. I. E. How much time do I have? I'm 70 years.
