Ken,

You don't mention but did your cancer cells test positive for HPV?

Ever since I found out my cancer was caused by HPV, 6 yrs ago, I have been trying to educate the masses. Newspaper articles, TV spots, radio shows, public speaking, HPV OC seminars at Moffitt, testifying before the Florida House in favor of a mandatory (then added a no questions asked opt out feature) Gardasil vaccination for all girls entering the 9th grade and testifying before the CDC on behalf of the female Gardasil vaccination. I posted so much on this site about HPV 6 years ago that I angered many members so much so that I almost quit posting.

Trust me I have tried to bring a much needed awareness to HPV cancers and the need for ALL pre sexually active young men and women to get the only vaccine the world had that will prevent cancer.
