I’m sorry to hear of your troubles, Karen, and I hope it’s not cancer! To me, 6 weeks sounds a long way off! Although I understand your biopsy concerns, it’s heading in that direction unless there is spontaneous healing? I’ve had a number of recurrences, 7, and believe my quick diagnosis, treatments, were helpful, although after my 2nd recurrence, I had a three month delay to start treatment, which wasn’t a good idea, and may have had an impact later on.

It’s hard to say being HPV negative and a non smoker is worse, it’s possibke? I know of both types that have similar difficulty. Try not to worry about that now. Take one day at a time, have a biopsy most likely, and see what your options are. I believe there’s always something for someone, and if it’s not cancer, better yet!

Good luck!
