Welcome to OCF, lwp. It is both a sad and happy event. Sad you got a cancer diagnosis, happy you found OCF so early. There is tremendous information here. Start reading all you can. Find out if you are HPV 16+ as treatments are much better at slaying the beast. Also fill out your signature so we can read your full diagnosis and where you are in the process.

Since you are in the early days, work hard at getting to a comprehensive cancer center (CCC) or minimally ensuring your case is managed by a team approach. Lining up a second opinion is also a wise option.

Stay close here, ask plenty of questions as there are many who have been through this and can offer first hand tips.

Good luck,
Don
