Hi @ingridr1979 and welcome. You can read several posts about patients struggles with squamous cell cancer in this group.
My advice is to make sure the cell type is revealed before any invasive surgery commences. If you have HPV 16+ type, often Chemo can be tried instead of surgery and radiation in many cases. You may want to get a second opinion. Also insure your doctor has significant experience in head and neck cancers specifically. You may need to seek help elsewhere.
Good luck. People are here for you if you have questions so please just ask.
