at long last someone is talking about the relationship of hpv to related cancer other than cervical .But please do not get this out of context ,i was diagnosed with penile cancer 5 years ago underwent drastic surgery .To this day the medical profession can not tell me why i got it ,i am from england and we discovered this poss link 3 years ago threw the american research.when we approached our doctor the hole relation was dismissed as rubbish as he had not heard of it ,my how thoughts change .
may i just add that when diagnosed i had been with my present partner for 23 years and niether had strayed so it is not neccaserily linked to being sexualy transmitted ,and also only acounts for less than 0.1% of mens cancer so again very rare .So we need far more research on this subject and more to the point because it is so rare we {men} have to be far more aware of what is out there ,and the only way that will happen is to talk about these subjects and stop burying our heads in the sand .
