Hi Lauren,

Although I'm not under 30, I am under 40...40 is the new 30 :-) Like you, I have never smoked and I'm only an occasional drinker. I'm sure you shocked when you first go the news being so young. I thought I was young when I was diagnosed and that was 3 months ago!

I've been wondering how I got this but it seems it could be hundreds of things or as a radiologist told me this morning, just a fluke. So, please know that you are not alone.

However, I would love to get a group of young, non-smoker/drinkers together and non-HPV to see what may have triggered this...maybe products that we are using, lifestyles, etc. I'm very curious as to what may have caused this.
