Suzanne,

It seems to me that the doctors don't know what they are talking about. With the experts we have here regarding HPV, and from what I have read, there are no documented cases of and HPV+ tumor on the mobile tongue. How anyone can make those statements without proper testing? In my opinion, borders on malpractice.

Curious how this happened at Penn when you go to Fox Chase.

Hope you're feeling better today. The weather was great today for the walk and we all missed you.
