Yes - your HPV jab is important, but hold on a mo’ @ShaunLintern “it can cause head & neck cancer in *men*” !

Well yes - but it can also cause Head & Neck cancer in WOMEN as well as PENILE cancer in men!! #HPV @OracleHNCUK @YoungTongues_ @macmillancancer

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m doing ok. Recurrence is the constant worry even 4 years down the line & the late-effects of Radiotherapy are vile. Along with that, it’s Psoriatic Arthritis & the risk involved in the meds to treat it that is the added difficulty for me. Happy to chat if you’re minded to explore further.

PLEASE have a look at “Young Tongues”. So many “younger” (mainly) ladies are often diagnosed in and around pregnancy. With me, it was probably heavy drugs for arthritis. It’s not just alcohol male smokers.

Thanks for your article. HPV can also cause Penile cancer!!

I’m a tongue cancer survivor, which often includes traumatic surgery before Radiotherapy. It’s rising quickly in young women too, but very often NOT HPV driven. Immunosuppression seems to play a part,
