Amy
It is true that a point eventually comes when there is no point to further surgery, so I now see what you were trying to say,
We were just worried about you as I know that I seriously considered just skipping the surgery as I felt the cancer was just going to come back again anyway.  Hope the scans turn out well,
On a totally different note, maybe you should buy a lottery ticket as you are now the first 
HPV positive poster to have a recurrence.  The odds against that happening have to be similar to those of winning the lottery.
Seriously, my wife and I both cried when we read your post
It's just too too sad to think about but sometimes bad things happen to good people and I will never figure out why
We will add you to our prayers
