[quote=Pete D]My view is that I could drive myself nuts trying to figure out where it came from and never find out or I can get on with the rest of my life and not let the fact that I had cancer dominate it.

I personally prefer the latter approach -- And I will let the smarter people with more resources than I have deal with the causes -- Were this ten years ago, would we even be suspecting something like HPV?[/quote]

I agree completely with you Pete. The first question that everyone asks me is "were you a smoker?". I just tell them yes and move on. Today is what I can spend energy on. I'm a big fan of Dr Dwyer and Pulling Your Own Strings is one of my bedside books that I re-read portions of often. Don't worry about what you can do nothing about.
