Yes. I LOVE THE RSS feed of OCF. Now I finally have a much better answer to the constant variants on the question of how did I get base of tongue cancer. Did I smoke? (tobacco did it) Did I drink? (alcohol did it) Was I a slut? (HPV did it). On this board we know none of the above is usually the correct answer even if we experimented with all of the above when young.
It's annoying and sometimes in the haze of pain of treatment even feels accusatory. thanks to OCF's RSS news feed: I have a new answer: didn't ya hear: Burning incense increases risk of cancer. It was when I went to college in the late 60s. See the the October 1, 2008 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. Okay, Okay, it specifies upper respiratory tract cancers ( but its definition includes nasal/sinus, tongue, mouth, laryngeal and other cancers) "Given the widespread and sometimes involuntary exposure to smoke of burning incense, these findings carry significant public health implications"
Not that I won't continue to educate people on HPV or smoking but sometimes I just want a more gentle smart ass answer thank "bad luck - could happen to you" (as my user name suggests, I am aiming at becoming charming in 2017.)
