And to be very blunt with you Gail, I choose to listen to what Brian has said on this subject. I'm bothered that I brought to your attention something that can be distressful to other patients and caregivers (though typing it makes YOU feel better about your loved one) and you STILL go on and on about how much better the prognosis is for HPV cancer! Then actually state that you don't see why it would distress anyone.

I have no power to dictate what you post and that's not what I'm trying to do. I was suggesting that your overkill on the HPV research may be distressing to some others. It was really that simple.
