Hi Tammy,

Thank you so much for your elaborative and uplifting answer. I already feel a bit more positive. I am glad to read that your husband is a survivor and doing well. You are both very strong. My own research seems to match your thoughts about HPV oral cancer. I will keep updated when we get more results. Life truly works in unpredictable ways, as if I was told just last week that I would be typing on an oral cancer forum, I probably wouldn't have believed it LOL. Reading through this forum, it seems like a very supportive group of individuals. Best of wishes to you and your husband.
