I have avoided getting involved in this HPV thing because there are clearly people smarter than me involved. My issue is that the less knowledgeable of us could take the HPV posts the wrong way and call into question our treatment choices. Could I have had a more favorable prognosis if they had checked my tumor for HPV? I doubt it. We have had brief postings on HPV before but this time it just will not go away. Can't this entire issue just be chalked up under ongoing research and end today?
