old way of thinking with the almost completely opposite
concept. I admit times chances and people can too.

What will it take for the Government to wake up and realise vaccination of boys will be cheaper than treating patients who present with this awful disease!

When I was diagnosed in August 2009 my own GP had no idea HPV could cause this cancer, until I told her … if she had it might not have taken so long for her to send me to the consultant.

Awareness needs to be raised urgently. I have a facebook page to help patients (http://www.facebook.com/survivingthroatcancers) … and through this we are all trying to spread the word – we know, we’ve been there and would not wish this on anyone.
