I know how disappointing, frustrated, and scared you must feel right now.

You have an excellent chance of doing very well based on what you have offered so far. You are young, HPV+, tumors are still relatively small and slow growing, and doctors who are moving forward with you.

Assume you are otherwise healthy and that fact will not create compromises in your therapies, you will get the best and full therapies designed for your case.

I know worrying for a year is a big factor, you have caught this still quite early and have an excellent prognosis. HPV+ SCC oral cancers respond very well to treatment.

best to you, don
