I wish I could say I was the "best in health" right now but unfortunately I'm dealing with an invasive HPV induced anal cancer.I've had surgery, and now am undergoing radiation twice a day and two rounds of chemo 4 days each.
As someone who advocates for HPV awareness (and have written a book due out Sept/Oct of this year) this situation came to my attention through another woman who had her claim denied for this reason. Thankfully, I was able to call Dr. Richart myself and clarify this since after all, he is the one who developed this nomenclature.
This particular woman was able to get her claim paid, but others need to be aware of this and so I felt it important to post it here as well.
