Hello, I am hopeful that this forum will allow me to share experiences, advice, ideas, comfort and resources with others who are suffering or healing. I have never done anything like this before, so here goes...
My name is Sarah and I was diagnosed with stage 1 HPV16 tonsill cancer 5 weeks ago. Since then I have had a tonsillectomy to remove a 1.5cm tumor and a modified, radical neck dissection to remove and biopsy 28 lymph nodes. I am very lucky to have dodged any other treatment, but I am searching for resources and information to help rehabilitate and also share experiences that may help others who are embarking on or going through something similar. I look forward to using this forum.
