Had HPV squamous cell cancer in lingual tonsil surgically removed in 2022. No radiation or chemo recommended at the time. Had a reoccurrence this year, another surgery. Radiation recommended, but I declined due to the host of side effects mentioned and my age (76). I will continue with quarterly evaluations, and if necessary, more surgery.

Hi @mark10 Welcome to the Head and Neck group. Any suggestion of meds such as Keytruda or similar? These show promise as an alternate to radiation.
