They just assumed it must be HPV. I am uninsured so they stayed away from any tests they did not deem vital.
They used Carbo because my hearing was already bad and cisplatin is supposed to really impact it. Carboplatin still did a number on my ears. I am hoping to get money together for a hearing aid. In the office, I see lips move but sometimes cannot make out the words.

I was treated at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, MI.
They are a wonderful bunch up there, and other than the payments I will be sending them for the rest of my life, I have no complaints. I do computer contracting and own a campground. When my contract ended, I lost my coverage and could not afford COBRA, thhen the diagnosos hit me.
I am working in Orlando now, 1400 miles from my wife and support.
