Enigmatic,

Not much to add here from another dentist. As Mike said, you seem to be in a better mental state and I'm glad to see that. I too had lateral border of the tongue SCC. Never tested for HPV. As Leslie stated, since there is no documented evidence of mobile tongue lesions being positive for HPV.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
