Listen or should I say DON'T LISTEN to that chicken little of a doctor. As long as I've been here, HPV- or not, I don't remember hardly anyone that ended up with lung cancer as a result of OC. Yes it's a destination once it leaves the nodes but in my experience here it rarely happens.

I would really try and wipe out your memory of what has previously been told to you and just focus on what they say at Sloan, and us of course. lol
