and maybe a year to get my strength back. I won't know for another 3 months whether the treatment has worked.
I posted this because my cancer was caused by the HPV16 virus, for which we now have a safe and effective vaccine.
Get your kids vaccinated.

What a courageous post. Hang in there, Jaberwock. I cannot even imagine how difficult this has been for you, and continues to be. Very much hoping that there's a lot of light at the end of the tunnel.

Good luck.
My brother was diagnosed with throat cancer and went through chemotherapy and radiation treatment. It was no fun at all but he pulled through it and has been on the mend.

I am soooo sorry you're having to go through this!

I was always much, much more fearful of radiation than chemo, for good reasons.
