Hi @wcm. It must have been an ordeal. If it was an HPV cancer, Stage 4 loses its power as these cancers are very much more treatable than non-HPV. I hope you are feeling okay after your treatment.

I was diagnosed with HPV tonsil cancer 6 years ago. I had surgery, 33 throat radiations and 3 chemo treatments. That was difficult to go through, then unfortunately it spread to my lungs and for the last 5 years I've gone through chemo, radiation, robotic surgery, a lobectomy and more radiation. My last scan showed 3 more nodules so the doc put me back on chemo (taxotere). I had my 3rd treatment on Monday and will have one more then a scan. Hopefully this will work! I wish you all the best of luck with your treatments!!
