As a follow up to the Reader's digest article on throat cancer, their web site has a blog about HPV that turns into an update on the after treatment issues we all go through: sore neck, tight jaws,insurance concerns, no more alcohol, lack of saliva, last to finish a meal, etc. Apparently a book is in progress also. Little by little we may not have quite as much to explain to people about the "new normal"
