Hi Mike (@abes1068) and welcome. I know it's not the club you want to join, but you are not alone. I'm tagging other members who have experience with oropharyngeal cancer like @kth @moro @blulady @michelleandrupert @dc56 @ptlhrms @alpaca @loli @fxdwing @catlyn @chamst @calenbd and others.

Mike, this is all very new to you being diagnosed only a couple of days ago. I'm sure you're dealing with many emotions and questions. Please ask. There are no dumb questions.

Do you know yet whether the cancer is related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) or what stage it is? I look forward to learning more.

Hi Colleen
Great to hear from you. I believe it is HPV related as it’s P16+. I also have one 1.6 cm (I’m in 🇨🇦!) swollen left lymph node and several smaller nodes. Nothing showed up on CT 2 weeks ago except nodes so I’m seeing ENT tomorrow and getting scoped etc to get more info.
