I have been avidly following the Michael Douglas story in the news for the last few days. Like many of you, I am very pleased that this has raised awareness of oral cancer and the HPV link. I am viewing these stories from the "other side of the pond" and thought you might want to read this article from The Sun - which I find refreshingly truthful, factual and without the sneering, stupid innuendos of many other tabloid newspapers.
