Rebecca,
That's very young for SCC especially if it's
HPV positive. Do ask to have her cancer slides tested for
HPV. A PAP will only tell if she has
HPV cervically, not orally. With a BOT Primary she has a 70+ % chance that
HPV is the culprit which would be a good thing.
Are they planning to do a PET to determine if any nodes light up?
What do they say is the next step?
Where is she being seen?
Are you near a comprehensive cancer center?
