I found this interesting, especially the last statement in the article. I plan on showing this to my gyn-onc in june.

HPV has caused me so much turmoil. After a lifetime of normal paps, I had one come back cancer (yes, actual cancer not SIL). Fortunately, it was over-read. Two cones later, I was clear for 1O-11 yrs. Had hyster for other reasons in 1/09. Now I am VAIN 1 with active, evil HPV again. So 10-11 years all good, now my vagina is under attack. I am wondering if it could be a new infection or the old one rearing its ugly head.

I thought the following might be of interest to some of the wonderful ladies here. There is a FREE Online Cancer Summit that started tonight, featuring integrative and alternative treaments. Tonights lectures (they're on for 2hrs a night for 5 nights & available starting at 8pm EST for 24hrs) include Kris Carr of Crazy Sexy Cancer Fame & Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez. I just finished listening to the first half and found it fascinating. This summit was put together by Kevin Gianni of Renegade Health. You just have to register over here (hope its oK to post the link): https://s3.amazonaws.com/cancerworld...aunch-day.html
