Thank you for the clarification Brian. I hate to see
HPV positive tumors touted as the "better" type of tumor to have! I realize that the research is important but not to the point of causing distress to new posters that are not
HPV positive. Before we start behaving as if an
HPV positive tumor patient has a huge survival advantage, we need to let the research go on a lot longer. And, as you say, at this stage in the game I've started thinking about other things that can cause my early demise that are NOT cancer...........let's just say it's made me buckle my seat belt faithfully and I pick up the salt shaker much less then before!
