Hi there - also to add to the above information - if it is a cancerous lesion on your tongue likely it's not related to your HPV status. usually it's base of tongue cancer or tonsillar cancer that is HPV related. Base of tongue is the part of your tongue that runs down your throat and is not visible. Hopefully it's nothing! Hugs and good luck.... but if it Does come back positive.. Push to have it dealt with asap, and for oral tongue cancer the first line of defense is surgery then rads and chemo depending on the staging and involvement. Take care.
