I know sometimes it seems like hunting an ant with an Uzi, but where cancer is concerned I've seen too many people die from taking the conservative approach, you may only get one shot at it - give it your best and come in with both barrels firing. I know traditionally HPV cancers are easier to treat with less recurrences - but we're all individuals on a cellular level - everything comes into play - DNA, environment, diet, habits and lifestyle. Just because 8 times out of ten the same treatment works - doesn't mean you won't be one of the 2 that has a problem and recurrence. As charm! I think has, said before - you have either a 100 % chance of beating it or a 0% chance - that being the case, do whatever you can to make it the 100% so that you never find yourself saying.... What if? Good luck
