Hi,
Also adding my welcome. We are about 3 months out of tx now so it is still very fresh for us.I am so sorry you have had to sign on here, but believe me, you will be glad you did. As the caretaker you will need support through this. We are here for you. Feel free to vent when you need to...and you will. You are in the scariest phase right now. Once you have the definites you can buckle down and get on with tx. Your lives will never be the same as we are finding out, but if indeed it is HPV as ours was, it is very curable. Stay positive, it is 90% of the battle. It really is. Be patient and know that we are here for you.
Stay in touch and feel free to private message any of us at any time. You don't have to post everything publicly.
Blessings,
Kathy
