Learnt some new. Re HPV
I have been informed that my cervical cancer removed by cone biopsy 37 years ago has come back to life but not in the cervix of all places I never imagined appeared as pre cancerous changes to part of my anus.
Through research since finding out is that being immune compromised can trigger the dormant virus to get moving. Didn't even know it could. I suppose if chicken pox can come back as shingles not so surprising. Just not talked about
Seeing as my neutrophils rarely go above 1.3 not surprising I suppose. Here I was thinking it was a haemorrhoid. Probable minor surgery in February. Of course the specialist surgeon has to talk to oncologist glad they know each other well.

update re HPV pre cancerous cells
seeing colorectal Dr today. For interpretation of the Biopsy results.
lets just say wasn’t greatest. Could of been worse still in precancerous stage. Definitely HPV p16.
from what I’ve found out.
main causes multiple sex partners haha not any. Skin to skin contact spread. Haha and most common in gay menand Immune compromised individuals who have had HPV / cervical cancer and too old to have had the immunisation. Well thats me!!!! My neutrophils are always just hovering around the 1.1 to 1.4 Part of why I have the Palbociclib holiday, besides not being able to shake off infection terribly easy it’s been of rough 12 months
