Eileen,

Good point you make, it does rather flaw the study doesn't it. If someone that doesn't smoke can have a HPV- cancer then why can't a smoker have an HPV+ cancer?

I spoke with Angie today, wonderful woman. She has a HUGE support system and a strong faith. She went for a CT scan today and has an appointment with my docs early next week. She's in good hands and has a very positive scenario in my opinion.
