Hello n74tg, another welcome from a relative newbie! HPV+ is indeed positive news. Have they done/are they planning PET scans as well? Hoping it is a very early stage!

As a side note, what swing dance styles do you do? East Coast/West Coast/etc.? I dabbled myself some,though my true love is reserved for ballroom dancing - I have been doing it competitively for many years, well it least this whole ordeal started.
