I was not a big drinker as it caused patches of eczema and I generally reacted poorly to alcohol and I never smoked or chewed. I also came up HPV neg...so really I'm of the mind that life's too short anyway to spend my time worrying about whether anything I do will bring this crap back. I certainly avoided the 3 major risk factors before and still ended up with it.

I say drink up and enjoy life while you can my dear and don't take it too seriously because nobody gets out alive anyway! This topic actually reminds me of a Mark Twain quote: "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not." I lived like this and still drew the short straw laugh C'est la vie.

Bottoms Up!
