What type of cancer did the biopsy indicate. Have you been Staged? Just because you have vaginal (I assume) HPV doesn't mean that you could have oral HPV as there is no study that indicates it can travel throughout the body. Also if your cancer is located in the forward tongue then it's very UNLIKELY that HPV is the cause.

Sorry you have to be here but this site will prove to be worth it's weight in gold.

Keep us posted.
