So I want to try and confront this HPV thing head on now that my treatments are coming to a close. I know there are no actual medical treatments but I was wondering what the HPV survivors here do, or have heard about doing, to attempt to force remission as a means of preventing cancer recurrence.

You know I want to do everything I can possibly do to make sure this doesn't happen to me again. I'm sure that everyone here feels the same way. Any ideas, suggestions? I know that there are no guarantees and that cancer can recur no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean I don't want to do all I can to improve my odds ya know.

High anti-oxidant diet?
Immune building?
Should I ask about vaccines?

Thanks for the knowledge
