Great video and very informative.

I developed a painless left side neck lump on april 8 of this year and it's still here 5 months later. I got over shingles in march of this year and suspect that both shingles and the lump were triggered by the moderna cov'd vaccine I received in late fall 2021 and then just a month later in late Nov. 2021 is when I contracted shingles.

Same problem

Thank you for the video

Yeah right! At 05:20 it is stated that HPV Positive throat cancers "do a lot better" than non-HPV related cases, which may very well be true. What she fails to mention is that the "Standard of Care" treatment protocol is the same for either version. If its determined to be locally advanced stage 3 or 4a involving the base of tongue and a tonsil for example, treatment is: Radiation 5 days a week with chemo 1 day a week for 7 weeks. Surgery is generally not an option in late stage cases. The fact is, oropharyngeal cancers are rarely caught early because there are no symptoms or reason to investigate until its too late. What most people fail to realize compared to other cancers is that the oropharyngeal area of the body controls all eating, drinking, swallowing, speaking, taste, and breathing functions all of which can be affected. Too bad there is no HPV test for men or a vaccine that actually works on older adults because the adverse side effects from the treatment are brutal and can last a year or longer during recovery AFTER treatment ends. If one can endure the long-term highly morbid side effects, they may actually have a good chance of survival... I'm not trying to scare anyone but facts are facts and the whole story should be told up front by doctors without sugarcoating anything.

Mine was caught in July 22 . It was a crazy time when I think about it . I have lymphoedema in my neck ( not too bad ) swallowing isn’t the same . I’m hoping it’ll get better . Taste is different and dry mouth , have to carry water everywhere I go . The treatment was rather brutal but I’m so grateful for it. I was 51 when I was diagnosed. I was told all the side effects up front and openly .

would you have any thing to share regarding the recovery period for myself. I'm 8 months in recovery, treated with chemo (1 day per week x 5) and radiation therapy (5 x 5 for 6 weeks). had caught it early, they had to really look deeply before finding a tiny spot on a tonsil. lymph node on that same side was key factor (swelled). hpv positive, squamous cell, etc. where I'm at now is a crappy full year of recovery (scar tissue, very sore neck where lymph node was treated that just became very sore at 8th month-they say fibrous/scarring/etc.) another issue is a very slow immunity system (trouble fighting off simple colds and viral infections, have noticed sore lymph nodes off and on during these times (signalling an onset of another viral mess, have had 3 inside these 8 months). Any hint at what might be next/expect? i'm not doing any more radiation (if there is a reoccurrence, I can tell there will be long term effects from that and the chemo wrecked my system (still dealing with fallout from that which affected my spinal cord/sympathetic system like a neuropathy but called reflex sympathetic dystrophy). having difficulty finding support groups just for hpv specific patients with similar issues, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Pls, can a tonsil cancer patient with a huge tumor on the neck be cured?
