In case you care to know, there is a pdf document about HPV available from the American Cancer Society website. If memory serves it says there are 12 high risk (capable of causing cancer) strains of HPV. I read some stuff from the Center for Disease Control website and got the overall impression that there still is a lot that is not known about this cancer; they used the phrase "additional research needed" quite a lot. Please don't take these comments in a negative way; they are certainly not meant to be negative. We're all going down the same road with you and trying to learn what we can about OC. Stay strong.
