David, Thank you for keeping us up to date about information from HPV expert at Moffitt. Your statement about good news/bad news regarding HPV is so true.

My husband did not have BOT tumor tested for HPV. His MO does not routinely send for HPV testing, unless the patient insists. My husband did not insist.

He is scheduled for skin lesion excision in Dec and I'll see what the dermatologist has to say.

Meanwhile - another clear PET! Lottie
