Welcome... very sorry you're here - It sounds on paper like HPV but you are very young for that type of cancer. Hopefully it is - just because the treatment generally has a better response. If it isn't HPV then I would agree with having both sides radiated and possibly surgery. Just because of the amount of involvement and your age. Take care, and read I'm on treatment if you can.
