Hi David, What I hope for is that when I go to my ENT on monday and have all my questions in order to ask him about, (now having a much more knowledgeable base for beginning questions) is that he gives me straight-up answers. I personally would like to know why or how he can diagnose me without a biopsy? See David, if I hadn't of found this web-site doing some research, I would never have learned all the things you folks have shared with me. And I really appreciate it. The Dr. never diagnosed me with HPV so I don't think I have any worries on that. I also have talked with my son about going to the CCC, as I totally agree with you, and so does he. Thanks again for the info. Angel
