After all the hell we ALL went through during treatment, my husband is drinking again. He survived Stage IV HPV positive oral cancer and must think he's invincible. I can't take this. I'm thinking about leaving him. He just had his second clean scan. The doctor even told him that he must not drink because there isn't enough data to know if the alcohol could have been a contributing factor in his cancer.
