I'd be curious to know recurrence rates for HPV AND smoking. I was a smoker and I tested HPV positive.... like a double whammy in getting H&N cancer. One way or another I was destined to get it. Now that I'm post Tx, what are the stats for me? I've not seen any that take into account both smoking and HPV.

My first scans (CAT and PET) are in early August.
