Welcome Peter,
Yes the
HPV connetion was formally determined after much speculation in 2000, research sponsored by OCF and the National Cancer Institute done at Johns Hopkins. If your doctors want a bibliography of what we know I can help you with this.
On another topic you are near a good friend of mine, Dr. Axel Kirsch who lives in Fielderstadt, and has an oral and maxillofacial surgical practice in Stuttgart. We worked together for many years on dental and facial implants. I have spent a great deal of time in your city and love my trips to it.
I wish you a rapid return to full recovery and normal life. From your posting it sounds like your treatment regime is almost identical to what we are doing here in the US, with good success.
