Thanks for the therapeutic response.
I was wondering what you mean by no s/s of HPV cancer. You mean you had no swelling, sores, or difficulties chewing/swallowing?
You just had the swollen nodes?
I will definitley be seeing an oral surgeon to do a consultation, as the ENT I saw was kind of rude in assuming I am some overly dramatic young woman. I am a nurse and observe the human body all the time, so observing my own comes to me very easily.
I may be a little dramatic about it because no one discussed with me when I was told that I have high risk HPV, that it will cause cancer in the mouth. Now, I am waiting on my health insurance to be approved. My perspective is changing on the medical field after reading about all of the doctors who dismiss the signs as something acute.
I have to adapt to the negligence of many people on a day to day basis and now I feel as though I have been negligent in some ways. I don't like fearing the worse, but to protect yourself and get things figured out, you have to stand up for yourself.
Thanks for your re-assurance.
