Hi All,

Thanks for your informative replies. I will continue to navigate this site.

Davidcpa - yes he is HPV+ as you were. there is so much in the news today about how the HPV virus becomes throat cancer, especially in men non-smokers. The oncologist said only 1% of HPV+ people get throat cancer. Is this accurate and how do you become HPV+ when most people just overcome it over time? Then I suppose he was in the very unlucky 1% ):. He had a PEG inserted prior to the treatment so we are getting in enough tube feedings although he has lost 10 lbs already. Throat is starting to thrush and talking is difficult.

This is tough...

Thanks to everyone again.
