Hey Folks,

I didn't know about HPV being specifically related to BOT cancer. As far as I know mine wasn't related to the HPV virus. I do have a strand of the HPV in the form of plantar warts on the feet that come & go with a small one popping up and then disappearing from time to time. However, I do not have the specific strand that is correlated with oral cancer or at least that was what I was told 5 years ago. I appreciate everyone's kind words and blessings. I'm doing my best to enjoy the weekend but am struggling some. It's my wife's 30'th b'day so we're going to do some fun stuff today that will hopefully let my mind wander to greener pastures. I'll definitely keep y'all updated on what transpires next week. Thanks for your replies.

-Kurt
