Gary-I will ask my Mom about the midpoint scan. The only thing that she mentioned to me about the doctors commenting on her progress was the the Radiation Doc told her that he we very pleased with what he saw on the xray film. According to my Moms perception they were xraying very frequently. Not sure if this was to make sure the location of the IMRT was on target or to evaluate progress. What does complete response mean? She is not scheduled to meet with a doc again for 2weeks. Then she goes in for a check up with the chemo dr. The IMRT doc told her he would scan her in 2 months. I am just wondering if she should consider MD Anderson even if the scan comes clean. I am so worried about lurkers in the nodes.

Gail-will they test you for the virus on the pap? How do they test males?

Gary-any word on when that HPV/gyn test will be standard procedure in NY?
