Just wanted to let everyone know I'm reading the posts and doing some searches. Thanks for the feedback. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow and the both Onc's monday. Early on this was not a problem for me. In the past three weeks it has caused me alot of confusion. I wanted to ask too if anyone had to pay out of pocket for the HPV test. I will have too but they said it was only 200.00-300.00 to have it sent off and tested. Does anyone know if this is true?
