Oral cancer (OC) is NOT an easy road! Treatments can be difficult as well as a longer than expected recovery but in the whole scheme of things we all do whats necessary to permanently eliminate the OC. Believe it or not,
HPV+ is a good thing as what caused the OC! Most
HPV+ patients get thru everything a little easier with better results. First appointments can be upsetting, try to take someone along as an extra set of ears to take notes or ask if the doc allows your sessions to be recorded. Intake will soon become VERY important, more-so than you could ever imagine!!! Thats the key to getting thru this as easy as possible.
Best wishes with everything!!!
