Ok.....I'm 2 months out from tongue cancer surgery and thought I was out of the woods. My tumor was not tested for HPV, but docs said it probably was an HPV cancer due to age and lack of other risk factors. NOW I have found a lump in the opening of my anus that I noticed over a week ago. I have been married to the same man for 27 years with no risky sexual behavior. Could this be cancer all over again in a new place? Anyone know of forum members that have had SCC in both places? I've made an appointment to have it checked, for December 12. Maybe it will go away by then.........
