Yes, I have a large lump under my right jaw line.Not visible but you can feel it if you place a finger on my neck. The doctor is aware of it. Also just last week I noticed a lump on the left side under my ear. I haven't been tested for HPV but I'm sure thats what the doctor was speaking of when he said he was looking for certain tags out of the biopsy. Is there a quick explanation why the HPV+ is more receptive to treatment?
