I'd ask your doctors what HPV test they did. When I insisted that my CCC do an HPV test on my tumor, (because of what I learned on OCF, they also told me that I was HPV negative.) So I was surprised to get the following email from them this January
[quote]Remember back earlier last year you asked for us to test your tumor for HPV status. Our pathologists at that time did a study using one technique (immunohistochemistry staining), and it was negative. We now use a more sensitive testing technique (called PCR). We reran your tumor using this technique, and it was positive for HPV subtype 16. I thought you would be interested.[/quote]
I had been suffering total bewilderment on how following all the exhortations on exercise, nutrition, meditation, etc. could have failed me so badly. It is good to get an answer.
Remember though that being HPV positive is no guarantee of things going great - as my recurrence proves. So Keep the Faith
