We just heard we are meeting with the oncologist next week as well as a radiologist, I guess to get a treatment plan. Neck dissection was mentioned by the ENT.

RE HPV, I thought if one of us had it, the other inevitably would. Am I mistaken here? I will mention getting his cancer tested for HPV anyway. The ENT did say they didn't want to operate on his tongue so I'm not sure of the possibility of his being tested, which is why I thought I would get tested.
