I noticed a lump on my neck...a biopsy confirmed P-16, which is a marker for cancer caused by HPV.

Ada, mother of two, explains how after a bee stung her on the neck, when the swelling went down, she noticed a lump.  This did not respond to antibiotics so a neck dissection revealed she had HPV-related tonsil cancer.  She wants others to know that the HPV vaccine can prevent HPV cancers.
