My cancer diagnosis was devastating, and treatment was exhausting. With a hopeful prognosis, I now turn to advocacy. Prevention is possible, and no one should have to endure this battle if we can stop it.
In this update video, I tell you about my journey fighting a specific type of cancer: HPV Positive Tonsil Cancer. I explain my prognosis, why a prognosis is typically better with HPV Positive Cancer, as well as a complete description of my treatment and the side effects of treatment.
I was a recipient of Proton Beam Therapy at the Mayo Clinic and I talk about the benefits of that too.
The main intent of this video is to put a face to HPV Positive Cancer, and describe what one form of it is like, to help people make a better decision about if they want to get their children the HPV Vaccine. The vaccine ensures that most who receive it will never have to go through the process of fighting this type of cancer, which has very long treatment timelines and many undesirable and painful side effects.
Our hope is that after seeing the video and hearing my story, anyone who may be on the fence about getting a loved one the vaccine can make a better decision and weight the benefits against the rough reality of what cancer treatment is like.
