About Ant1073

In December 2018 I was sitting in stationary traffic and pondering the 3 days growth on my chin in the rear view mirror. Rubbed my neck and there it was! An obvious lump that I’m certain wasn’t there 3 days ago when I last shaved. Fast forward a bit and did blood tests at my GP surgery and advised they are all ‘normal’. Sent to ENT, then for an MRI and then on for Needle biopsy of the lump in my neck. One week later back at ENT to be told I have Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma that had spread from my left Tonsil. Three weeks later it was confirmed my Cancer is HPV Related.
