Thank you, David!

We did ask the surgeon if they would test the tonsil for HPV once it was out, and he said, "yes." When we saw him for the post-op visit, I asked about it again, and he said that those results weren't back yet. He also said the results didn't really matter at this point. ??? I didn't understand that, but then I thought perhaps he just wanted Roy to focus on healing from the surgery right now. So, I'm still a little confused on this but will push for more answers at our next visit.

Can YOU help me better understand why the HPV results do matter?

Thank you so much for your help. You just can't imagine what a difference it makes! Then again, maybe you can! Laurie
