I am in need of info & already scared, because of what I have already been through & what is still the unknown! But the feedback has all been wonderful. I have had no surgery yet. in 2008 I received 37 rad. treatments & 4 chemo. That was for base of tongue. I never asked if it was from HPV. I always blamed smoking! I have decided to face this surgery head on. But I'm gonna stay "pissed about it" I hate doing anything twice!
