Now that I am sufficiently scared because it seems to be getting worse by the day, what should I do? Who should I see? Should I start local or start at a CCC? Most specialists aren't even aware of the oral cancer/HPV link.

If I see my ENT, do I request a biopsy? Is it possible to accurate biopsy and diagnose my tonsil lumps without taking it all out? I don't think I have enough leave for an adult tonsillectomy. As well I hear it is a horrendous procedure.

Angel, is your SCC related to HPV? If SCC of the tonsil is what I have, then mine is definitely related to HPV.
