Klo is so right that our personal experiences color our responses to questions like yours. That's why DavidCPA's and Kelly211's advice are different. Having had not one, but two recurrences, if I had it to do over again, I'd take the brutal induction chemo and then radiation/chemo. While the after effects can be bad, the first time the cancer came back, I ended up even worse. I'd take a look at the recent OCF news report that just a DNA test or PCR test showing HPV may not tell the whole story since the mortality numbers for those are the same as for non HPV (hence Kelly's doubt). The beneficial difference seems to also involve E6/E7 antibodies

My HPV+16 status hasn't helped me much.
here is where your doctors can help - ask them what they would do for their son or daughter or father or mother.
