Suzanne,

Just a curious question about your history (maybe that's why they thought it was caused by HPV) and one that I've been wondering about myself. Please smack me if I've crossed the line by being too personal.

My history includes a Pap smear that went from a Class I to a Class IV about 16 years ago due to HPV (I don't know the strain). After cryosurgery, I went back to a Class I and it's been the same since.

I only have the report for the tongue and lymph nodes, so I'm sure they didn't test for HPV.

I did bring that up on my 4 week check up because I am curious as to the coincidence. I know it didn't "jump" from point A to B, but just found it interesting that at one point in my life the HPV was there and here I am now. My doctor found it interesting too, but didn't have any input. I just don't know if there is any correlation between the two types at different times in my life.

Sorry......you know how I love to ramble! LOL
