My husband was diagnosed with BOT cancer, but his HPV swish test came back negative. They never did an HPV test when they did his biopsy. He did not have surgery to remove the tumor. I'm scheduled to go see my GYN next week, and is there a specific test that I should ask for in order to be screened? Any suggestions on what to make sure she does that might not be tested for normally?
