About the Author

Stephen McPherson is a survivor of this horrible cancer, and in 2015 when Stephen was first diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of a HPV origin, public awareness for Head and Neck Cancer both in Western Australia and Australia as a whole was very low, in fact non-existent outside of the medical profession.
