Michelle, You are not alone. You have a witness.
I also find this MD fascination unsettling. Although a good thing for oral cancer awareness, on a personal level it is uncomfortable. I feel that we are now singled out and thought of as perhaps promiscuous. I have been honest about the oral cancer/
HPV+ link, depending on who asked me about causation. Actually, my husband's tumor was not tested, but it certainly fits the profile.
I guess that talking about it honestly on my own terms is different than being talked about....
