Got my full diagnosis. [View all]

T2N1 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the base of my tongue.

HPV +p16

Surgery is back on the table, and would not be as invasive as told yesterday. All Lymph nodes on the right side will be taken out along with a small chunk of the base of my tongue. Tuesday should be the day I learn what they have decided.
