Hi D

He discovered a lump in his neck just under his jaw bone on the left hand side.

He was referred to the hospital and was diagnosed with HPV cancer. They think it started in his tonsil although he did not have any symptoms there until he found the lump in his neck. It had spread to his lymph nodes but they are hopeful that it can be treated.

Although the treatment is not nice it is a cancer that has a high rate of recovery and there is more chance of recovery if you turn out to be HPV positive, apparently it is like the male version of cervical cancer, lots  of people have HPV but it is whether it manifests into cancer and the prognosis is good.

Good luck with your referral and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards
