Jim.....David.....You say that your tissues were sent to another institution for testing....do all institutions keep tissue samples from surgical removals? I would like to have mine tested also. I have no reason to think that I have
HPV, but I would like to know, just for me, as David says. Also, those oral cancers suspected of being caused by
HPV are reported to be more responsive to treatments, and I would like to know if I had one more thing going in my favor.
