ENT

Saw my ENT this afternoon , scoped throat all is well. He asked about the gardasil injections I had, and yes I way exceed the age of gals & guys who should get them, he said since I was never a smoker and no evidence of HPV , that my stage 4A rt tonsil cancer may have been caused by something viral , he's glad my radiologist and internist agreed that I should get the series of 3 injections.

Gardasil
The injections are slated for young girls between 13 to 24, and young men as well, a preventative or so they think to prevent certain types of HPV ... It's a series of 3 injections, most insurance either pay very little toward it , or nothing..mine was nothing...the cost is what prevents a lot from getting the shots...all I can say is if it in any way it is effective in my treatment then it was worth every penny. When I say injections, they are like a vaccination

ENT visit
osmotar,
Another H&N success, congratulations!
A few of our members have opted for the Gardasil shots for their kids. Once HPV pays a visit to a parent it is not a bad idea to vaccinate kids or in your case, (or any H&N) we may be susceptible to cancer so why not knock one player out of the game (I really do not think it is a game).
