Very interesting. Was told by dermatologist and PCP that the HPV can be the source of the squamous cancers. They did not tell me getting the vaccine would help attack the squamous and also attacks HPV. That sounds promising.

I wonder if you get the vaccine prior to getting HPV is the goal they are mentioning? And if the benefit of the vaccine would be the same after getting HPV. But seems your dermatologist mentioned it could attack the squamous.

I asked if I had HPV and they said they could test but nothing they could do if I did have it. Looks like I need to dig deeper into this.

It was my doctor at the University of Miami who had mentioned getting the HPV vaccine to help with SCC.
I am flying to Mayo on Jacksonville, FL on Dec 11th to meet with 2 doctors for their opinion on what I am now doing as well as the vacine,
I will write whatever I find out.
