No my sister is not a tobacco user. She is the picture of health. Excercise, diet, you name it she is squeeky clean.
Yes, she has been encouraged to join this site. I believe she will very soon.
The testing for HPV is underway and she should know something soon. As for treatment options we will know soon.

Thank you both for you replies. I hope to post more in the near future.
