It was interesting to hear that they changed his Stage 4a to a Stage 2 due to the HPV. He smoked for many years mostly before I met him as I started to throw away his cigarettes every time I saw them. He had hidden his smoking from me as well as the chewing tobacco habit. I'm highly allergic to the formaldehyde in cigarette smoke. He did chew tobacco for 22 yrs before his diagnosis He grew up around chain smokers so it's always been a part of his life.

Life goes on.......
