David,
I had a Dr. at UCSF yesterday tell me that while there is no clinical evidence, she would suggest that I get the HPV vaccine after I recover from my treatment regimen. There is some preliminary data that suggests that the Guardasil vaccine may help to strengthen the immune system against a reoccurence of an HPV induced cancer.

Also, have you ever bothered to determine if your p16+ test results really meant that you have HPV. If so, did you go through the academic exercise of which strain of HPV that you have?

My wife says I am getting ahead of myself by thinking about this issue and that I should focus on getting through the treatment. Just can't help myself. I am, however, very grateful that I have settled on a course of treatment and that it will begin soon.
Thanks,

Frank
