To the editor: I used to be recognized with cervical most cancers 4 years in the past — and I can thank the human papillomavirus, or HPV, for it. (“Belief survivors: You don’t want an HPV-caused most cancers. Get vaccinated,” letters, Dec. 31)
I had a whole hysterectomy adopted by a spherical of chemotherapy and radiation. Fortunately, the surgical procedure and therapy have been profitable.
Seems that the tenacious and pernicious virus continues to be in my system — so I get to be looking out for different scourges, together with anal most cancers.
I encourage anybody eligible for vaccination in opposition to HPV to get it.
