Greetings, wastars! - - -

I hade anal cancer stage 3C, HPV-16 mediated, for which I was treated with 5-FU, Mitomycin, and radiation. I had 2 metasises since over the course of 6 years.

My radiation oncologist was a very compassionate man who sat me down to tell me NEVER to be ashamed. So many people in the USA, over 90%, have been exposed to HPV that it's now just part of the human condition. The huge majority of the exposed never know, as an infection rarely causes an illness that is recognized. And anatomically, when women have intercourse with someone who is unwittingly infected, well - body fluids run downhill after all.

Anybody who tries to shame you should be left in your dust, ESPECIALLY medical professionals. Speak to their supervisors or the hospital's medical board or state medical board. Sic 'em!
