Now all we have to do is figure how many tumours that test positive for HPV actually caused the cancer rather than the smoking and drinking which just confound everything.

Alex and I are blaming his positive HPV status even though he had a 2 pack a day and heavy drinking history for the last 30 odd years (better hope for the future if it was the HPV that did it)
