Wanted to correct my last post plus says thank you to Kelly as well. I meant to say that the growing trend is using less dosages of chemo and radiation! I think that's the tough part is that we are treading in uncharted territory! I think in the future we will see 2 different tx approaches ones for HPV+ tumors and ones for HPV negative! If I only had a crystal ball frown! I agree I think Memorial Sloan will be the final decision maker! If only they would have warned me about this in Sex-ed and nursing school frown! Some day I'm really hard on myself trying to figure out how and when I could have gotten the HPV! I'm sooooo scared frown!!!!!! I'm too young for this crap!!
