David.... I want in on that one...

But seriously, Sherrone, you're getting great advice here and I'm just chiming in with support. I can't imagine why your ENT made that statement since from everything I've read - and what my own UCLA professor MO told me - indicates that the jury is very much in on the HPV link.

Good luck today and keep us posted.
