Base of Tongue HPV+ Cancer

Hi everyone.

I am new to the forum.

My husband has recently been diagnosed with HPV + BOT SCC which has spread to the L2 lymph nodes, thankfully it has not spread anywhere else. 

He starts his treatment- 6 weeks of radiotheraphy and 6 sessions of chemotherapy (cisplatin) on 6th September 2021. 

We have been told that this is a very difficult and painful  journey.  

Looking for any advice please. 

Thanks x

  • Hi Hazel,

                  Your blog and posts helped me through my Treatments, I thank you,  but I found there are gaps in all the forums which I read, so I will try to help others like yourself going through the diagnosis and treatments then recovery.

    Best regards

    Dave
