Hi Brazilian girl. Sounds like you've been through a lot but thankfully they caught it and diagnosed early. I too am a tongue cancer patient, mine was bigger so I was a T2 - and started out with 0 nodes but ended up with one involved shortly after my biopsy - I'm in my forties and except for this I've been healthy - non smoker - non drinker. Because of the size of my tumor the removed 1/3 of my tongue and replaced it. Usually a T1 is a pretty safe catch. Just keep an eye on your mouth, and nodes in your neck. Sometimes despite the superficial size - it can be agressive. - I know at least one person here who's cancer was very small - 1mm depth - but it was aggressive. You should be good but just be diligent! And of course welcome! I did chemo and radiation after my surgery just to be on the safe side - my tongue has healed for the most part and my speech is okay za8 only hav a lisp when I'm tired. Take care!!! Oh and it's highly unlikeyl your HPV + usually it's found at the base of the tongue (in your throat) or on your tonsil... oral tongue cancer is usually not HPV related!
